For the first time ever, a spacecraft has snapped images of the sun’s south pole. These swirling gold-and-black views of the fiery ball of gas are key to understanding the solar magnetic storms that ...

A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi has identified a previously unknown type of large-scale wave deep within the Sun, ...

The sun has had an active few days, firing several powerful solar flares and (plumes of searing-hot solar material out into space. On Tuesday (May 13), a sunspot on the sun's surface named AR4086 ...

When a dramatic solar video began circulating earlier this year, it looked like something out of science fiction: a bright filament at the Sun’s north pole appeared to shear away and whirl around the ...

A groundbreaking study published in Scientific Reports has uncovered the source of the Sun’s magnetic dynamo, shedding new ...

Every image you've ever seen of the sun is looking at its equator, because Earth's orbit sits there with a 7.25-degree tilt. That means humans have never had a good angle to view the sun's north and ...

Something incredibly strange is happening in our cosmic neighborhood: a mysterious gravitational disturbance is hurtling Jupiter toward the Sun. If it sounds like science fiction, that’s ...

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered new large-scale waves moving deep inside the sun, driven by magnetic fields far below the surface. These waves provide a window into parts of the sun that ...

In early February 2026 the sun erupted with an extraordinary series of powerful solar flares, including a particularly intense X-class outburst that stands among the strongest observed in decades and ...

We’re all familiar with the sun’s daily motion in the sky. It rises in the east, gets higher in the sky until circa noon, then begins its hours-long descent to set on the western horizon. You may also ...
