NASA has drafted its Mars rover Perseverance to help monitor the sun’s activity. Every day for the next two months, the rover ...

On a dynamic planet like Earth, it can be easy for drivers of change to go unnoticed – but scientists have now established and investigated an unexpected link between the Sun and our homeworld.

The sun has become more and more active over the last 16 years, in a turn that surprised scientists and could affect space weather and technology on Earth, NASA announced this week. A new research, ...

The Sun seems like a perfectly reliable, unchanging presence in the daytime sky, but it’s not. Intense heat and pressure in its core fuses hydrogen atoms into helium, fueling the cosmic fire that ...

The sun has been unleashing a series of intense solar flares in recent weeks and much of last year as scientists forecast the sun has reached its solar maximum, an 11-year cycle. However, some ...

The unexpected surge of solar activity during the ongoing solar maximum may be tied to a lesser-known, 100-year-long cycle that is just beginning to ramp up again, a new study suggests. If that's true ...

Climate data in a report published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate.gov website found that the sun’s solar activity, including overall brightness and sunspot ...

Considered our solar system's largest explosive events, solar flares can sometimes be as strong as a billion hydrogen bombs. Those with enough energy output to rank as an X-class have the potential to ...

Your hosts will show you live views of the Sun (weather permitting) as they discuss the sun’s cycle, how it creates auroras here on Earth and other affects it can have. Moderators in the live chat ...

Although CMEs do not directly harm humans, their impact on technological infrastructure can be severe.

Powerful solar storms in May and October painted auroras across large parts of North America. But some U.S. farmers also witnessed unusual activity from their high-tech machinery, which started ...
