Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most ...

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

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Tom ...

Space weather forecasting is a guessing game. Predictions of outbursts from the sun are typically based on the amount of activity observed on the sun’s roiling surface, without accounting for the ...

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

After four centuries of advances, astronomers now capture the Sun’s swirling, dynamic features in stunning detail.

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 ...

Scientists have detected a strange new type of high-frequency wave on the sun's surface, and the waves are moving three times faster than scientists thought was possible. The acoustic waves, called ...

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 ...

The outer layers of the sun’s atmosphere are a blistering million degrees hotter than its surface. The hidden culprit? Magnetic activity. How Scientists Are Tackling the Tricky Task of Solar Cycle ...

The Committee on Solar and Space Physics (CSSP) provides an independent, authoritative forum for identifying and discussing issues in solar and space physics with the research community, the federal ...

A paradox that puzzled a generation of solar and atomic physicists – and occasionally pitted theories from one field against the other – has been resolved. The paradox concerns the polarization of ...
