Scientists have found a way to identify magnetic fields on the far side of the sun, a region that cannot be seen from Earth.

From Earth, we only ever see half of the sun. The other half—the far side—is always hidden from view. But what happens there still matters. Powerful activity forming on the far side can rotate toward ...

Solar magnetic activity plays a pivotal role in driving a myriad of eruptive events in the corona, including flares, filament eruptions and coronal mass ejections. These phenomena arise from the ...

A new study published in Nature Astronomy, led by Dr. Jie Yu, from the Australian National University, reveals that stars in close binary systems—pairs of stars orbiting each other at close range—can ...

A new model contradicts previous theories that the sun's magnetic field originates deep inside its interior. Deep origin theories could not explain rotation patterns of the sun's gas near its surface ...

A new model that posits the same physical process is responsible for magnetic field and the rotation patterns, contradicting previous theories that the sun’s magnetic field originates deep inside its ...
