A patch of turmoil on the Sun can feel far away, until it reaches into your daily life. In 2024, one solar region became so ...

By combining observations from two space missions, scientists were able to follow one exceptionally active region on the Sun for months, revealing how its magnetic structure evolved over time. Our sun ...

Scientists have pulled back the curtain on one of the most extreme solar regions seen in decades, tracking it almost nonstop ...

'We live with this star, so it’s really important we observe it and try to understand how it works and how it affects our environment,' a solar physicist says.

In May 2024, the strongest solar storm in twenty years raged. An international team led by ETH Zurich observed it. Their findings are now helping to improve space weather forecasts. Our sun rotates ...

The Sun has just unleashed an M5-class solar flare, a powerful burst of radiation that signals a clear uptick in solar activity as the current cycle heads toward its peak. While this event is not the ...

In May 2024, Earth was slammed by the worst geomagnetic storm in more than 20 years, which disrupted radio signals, power grids, and satellites. The storm originated from an active solar region known ...

Learn about the longest observation of an active solar region, a feat that could start a path to improved solar storm forecasts. At certain hot spots on the sun’s surface, plasma interacts with ...

The European space probe Solar Orbiter delivers images of the sun, including observations of what is, from our perspective, its far side. Our sun rotates around its axis once every 28 days. From earth ...

The study of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) and solar irradiance lies at the intersection of plant science, meteorology and renewable energy research. This field investigates the solar ...
