In principle, cosmic-ray observations can provide detailed insights into the physical profile of a passing ICME. But despite ...

Our planet was rocked by some of the worst geomagnetic storms in more than 20 years. Triggered by a slew of solar flares, the ...

As one of five panels that will provide input to the steering committee of the Decadal Survey for Solar and Space Physics (Heliophysics) 2024-2033; the Panel on the Physics of Magnetospheres is tasked ...

NJIT researchers have identified a class of high-energy particles responsible for the Sun’s mysterious and long-lasting gamma ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in solar physics by providing the first direct evidence of small-scale torsional Alfvén waves in the sun's corona—elusive magnetic waves that scientists have ...

At its current solar maximum, our Sun has been pretty busy of late, flinging parts of itself at Earth and raising concerns about effects on satellites and power grids while also gracing us with ...

Scientists from the University of St Andrews have discovered that ions in solar flares can reach scorching temperatures more than 60 million degrees—6.5 times hotter than previously believed. This ...

The region was monitored from its birth on the far side of the Sun on April 16, 2024, until its decay after July 18, 2024.

The "milestone in solar physics" will help scientists better understand space weather and its impact on our tech-dependent ...

Beaming solar energy from space is not new; telecommunications satellites have been sending microwave signals generated by solar power back to Earth since the 1960s. But sending useful amounts of ...

Solar physics investigates the complex processes occurring in our Sun – the nearest star and a prototypical example of stellar activity. Central to the discipline is an understanding of the Sun’s ...

Groundbreaking advances in solar and space physics have provided key insights into the inner workings of the heliosphere, the vast protective bubble formed by the solar wind that extends from the Sun ...
