In the first months of 2026, several chunks of spent rocket hardware tumbled back into the atmosphere weeks earlier than ...
For more than two decades, a global network of telescopes has been eavesdropping on the sun by tracking millions of tiny ...
Solar cycle space weather models may be miscalibrated: a new helioseismology study found the Sun’s magnetic activity has retreated toward its surface since 1987 in ways sunspot counts never detected.
New research indicates the sun's magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of extreme solar storms like the ones that ...
Scientists studying 50 years of solar data warn Earth may be entering a heightened risk period for rare “superflares” capable ...
To reconstruct the Sun’s polar magnetic behavior over more than 100 years, an SwRI scientist first corrected anomalies in historical data from Kodaikanal Solar Observatory (KoSO) to sync with direct ...
The solar cycle as a research area focuses on the quasi-periodic (~11-year) modulation of solar magnetic activity and its physical drivers, modeling, and impacts. It encompasses the study of dynamo ...
