Have you ever wondered why celestial objects in our universe, such a stars and planets, have spherical shape? What causes the round formation of these massive bodies?
A new evidence of the most extreme SPE bursts in history had been discovered by astrogeologists. This evidence was from tree samples located at the regions in the northern hemisphere.
Some people worry that a gigantic "killer solar flare" could hurl enough energy to destroy Earth. But these are not powerful enough to physically destroy Earth.
Aphelion day this year is coming. It is the time when Earth is at its furthest from the Sun just two weeks after the June solstice. So, what will happen during this time?
Early on Saturday, July 3, Earth saw its first major solar flare for the Solar Cycle 25, an X Class flare that was also the most intense in the last four years.
Recent research suggests that conventional hypotheses on the formation of Mercury's iron core are not plausible. Stating that the rocky planet's composition is more influenced by the Sun's magnetic field during the formation of the solar system.
NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer spacecraft (ACE) helped solar scientists to study total solar eclipses to better understand how temperatures of solar wind and the Sun's corona could affect space weather that can impact astronaut activities and electronics in space.
In celebration of a decade-long Sun observation from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, the US Postal Service issues a set of Sun Science stamps that showcases a range of solar activity.
A new solar study supports the possibility of the planetary hypothesis through the push and pulls between the sun and the planet's magnetic field, also known as the sun's clock.
New clues have recentlly revealed the mechanisms behind the Rosetta eruption. They could help researchers solve the long-lasting mystery of what's causing the powerful and unpredictable eruptions of the Sun.
For the first time since 2017, a magnificent solar eclipse will dazzle parts of the United States next week, appearing as an ominous and fiery burning light in the sky.
The sun's surface is blisteringly hot at 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit -- but its atmosphere is another 300 times hotter. What heats the atmosphere to such extreme temperatures?
The US Air Force is planning to harvest space solar power from its unlimited source, the Sun. This is in response to the ever-increasing energy demands of humans.
NASA's solar orbiter already captured a gorgeous glimpse at a coronal mass ejection or CME. The sunlight is still sparkling and bubbling. If large enough eruptions occur on the surface, billions of tons of plasma and electrically charged particles will be hurled against Earth.
