Close-up measurements from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe are giving scientists an unprecedented look at how the solar wind gains ...

A volatile region on the Sun has just fired off a monster solar flare, followed by a blast of charged particles that ...

Close-up observations of the Sun explain how solar flares start, grow, and send high-energy particles racing through space.

The sun’s solar weather has caused several atmospheric events since entering its solar maximum phase on Oct. 15, according to NASA. The phenomenon happens about every 11 years as the sun's shifting ...

Multiple M-class and X-class solar flares erupted within 24 hours as an active sunspot released intense radiation affecting ...

Using data collected by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its closest approach to the sun, a University of Arizona-led research team has measured the dynamics and ever-changing "shell" of hot gas from ...

A violent solar eruption on May 31 launched a coronal mass ejection (CME) hurtling toward Earth, triggering a rare G4-level geomagnetic storm alert. Captured in real-time by U.S. Naval Research ...

We live on a solar-powered planet. As we wake up in the morning, the Sun peeks over the horizon to shed light on us, blanket us with warmth and provide cues to start our day. At the same time, our Sun ...

In our daily lives, the sun seems constant and quiet, sedately shining at a steady pace. But looks can be deceiving: our star can also blast out powerful solar storms, huge explosions of energy and ...

I’d wager a guess that we are, as a species, rather fond of our home planet (our wanton carbon emissions notwithstanding). But the ugly truth is that the Earth is doomed. Someday, the Sun will enter a ...
