This study provides an unparalleled estimate of the magnitude, structure, and evolution of magnetic fields inside the Sun over three decades, which is tremendously important for understanding how our ...

Solar magnetism is a fundamental driver of dynamic phenomena on the Sun, manifesting in cyclic variations such as sunspot activity, flares, and coronal mass ejections. Central to this process is the ...

Solar activity is likely to be on the decline all the way to 2030, which will mark the end of Solar Cycle 25.

Researchers at IIT Kanpur have mapped the magnetic field inside the Sun for the first time by combining 30 years of surface observational data from space satellites into a 3D computational model.

Solar observers are in for an electrifying time. The total solar eclipse will grace North America on April 8th, and with our celestial neighbor entering a phase of heightened activity known as a solar ...

Kanpur: Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K) mapped the magnetic field inside the Sun for the first ...

NASA recently announced that as of late October, the Sun has reached solar maximum: a repeating crescendo of solar activity that often comes with increased solar flares. True to form, it seems like ...

There are many things with spots: Dalmatians, leopards, ladybugs, overripe bananas, and guys with bald spots are all great examples. Another thing with spots is the Sun! That's right! The Sun, as it ...

Strongest solar storm in two decades struck earth resulting in rare aurorae far from the poles. What are these solar storms? How are aurorae formed?
