(CNN) — The sun has a powerful magnetic field that creates sunspots on the star’s surface and unleashes solar storms such as the one that bathed much of the planet in beautiful auroras this month. But ...
The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity. Over the past couple of years, solar activity—as measured by ...
Earth faced its most violent solar assault of 2026 when an X-class flare erupted from the sun's surface on January 18, ...
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.
The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...
