Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...

When a solar storm strikes Earth, it can disrupt technology that's vital for our daily lives. Solar storms occur when ...

Spanning billions of years, lunar soil could store a chemical record of ancient gases—materials that may one day support ...

In addition to shaping the interior of rocky planets, molten rock located deep within these planets may also contribute to ...

NASA researchers show that artificial intelligence can anticipate solar flare buildups by tracking subtle changes across the ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. Now you can actually 'hear' this epic upheaval, thanks ...

A new study suggests lunar soil contains elements that solar wind transported to the moon from Earth’s atmosphere, solving a long-standing astronomy puzzle.

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

Scientists noted that this marked the sixth occurrence in the ongoing solar cycle where such a powerful red aurora was ...
