1 day ago · Today’s top story: A chunk of sun-stuff – a mixture of solar materials and magnetic fields, aka a coronal mass ejection or CME – was expected by midday September 25. But Earth’s ...
Dec 15, 2023 · A period of high activity on the Sun, known as space weather or solar storms, can affect technology on Earth and astronauts in space. Solar storms are caused by high-energy particles blasting the...

Solar cycles have a huge impact on the Solar System but are relatively poorly understood. Scientists have ascertained that they seem inextricably linked with the solar magnetic field, which arcs across the surface of our Sun in twists, swirls, and loops. Roughly every 11 years, the Sun's magnetic poles flip, north becoming south and vice versa. Thi...
It's important to understand that we don't really have a good idea about what happens insidethe Sun. It is thought that the solar magnetic field is generated by a dynamo inside the star, a rotating, convecting, and electrically conducting fluid that converts kinetic energy into magnetic energy, spinning a magnetic field out into space around the Su...
Based on the findings of the 'interference pattern', McIntosh and his team have arrived at predictions of the current solar cycle that are more in line with current observations than official predictions – the ones based on sunspot counts. Solar cycle predictions, plotted against observations. (C. Möstl, helioforecast.space/solarcycle) However, it'...
May 7, 2018 · What will our Sun look like after it dies? Scientists have made new predictions about what the end will look like for our Solar System, and when that will happen. And humans won't be around to see the final act.
