You may have noticed that more auroras have been visible in recent years, including from lower latitudes. Here's why the ...
Scientists discovered tiny jets on the Sun that power both fast and slow solar wind. These jets eject particles and shape ...
PUNCH will watch the how the Sun's corona births solar wind disturbances that spread across the full scope of the inner solar ...
NEW ORLEANS — Solar sails that allow satellites to glide on the light from the sun could soon become a reality. The ...
That's because our planet's magnetic field lines channel the steady stream of particles, called the "solar wind," to the poles. But when eruptions or other disruptive events occur on the surface ...
The gigantic coronal hole is blasting high-speed solar wind toward Earth, potentially igniting vibrant auroras and minor geomagnetic activity on Jan. 31. and Feb. 1. Keep up with current northern ...
As of now, there still isn’t way to predict such eruptions before they happen. A better understanding of the solar wind also factors into another human venture: space travel. Some solar wind particles ...
Geomagnetic storms are capable of sparking beautiful displays of the Northern Lights across our night sky. However, there is a potential danger behind that beauty, especially now, with solar activity ...
A massive coronal hole has formed in the sun's atmosphere, unleashing a powerful stream of solar wind toward Earth. Nearby, a second, slightly smaller coronal hole is also directing solar wind our ...
The solar wind is matter that is blown from our sun, out into the whole solar system. This stream of material is coming out of the sun all the time – about a million tonnes per second.
These findings are crucial, as space weather affects satellites, and there's growing evidence linking coronal holes to ...
The Met Office says Northern Lights may be visible in parts of the UK thanks to recent solar activity. The forecast says the ...
