While the Sun’s solar flares strongly correlate with sunspots, observations of more than 14,000 other stars show this is not generally the case.

PALM BAY, Fla. — An area of Central Florida known as a magnet for criminal activity could soon get a face-lift. Channel 9 has been telling you about this massive property for years as it’s been ...

The sun is having an identity crisis: Because it shows different magnetic activity and rotation rates than other stars in its current classification, scientists have debated whether the sun is really ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) have uncovered the intricate magnetic heartbeat of a distant star remarkably similar to our own sun—but much younger and more active.

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 ...

This illustration lays a depiction of the sun's magnetic fields over an image captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The complex overlay of lines can teach scientists about the ways the sun's ...
