The Sun's magnetic field does impact the movement of plasma on the Sun's surface, but it does not actually impact the amount ...

The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

Scientists discovered Earth’s magnetic field is weakening over the Atlantic Ocean, but what does that mean for life on the ...

The sun typically goes through regular cycles of increased and decreased activity, but in recent years, it hasn't been ...

The Sun seems like a perfectly reliable, unchanging presence in the daytime sky, but it’s not. Intense heat and pressure in its core fuses hydrogen atoms into helium, fueling the cosmic fire that ...

The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity. Over the past couple of years, solar activity—as measured by ...

Compass readings that do not show the direction of true north and interference with the operations of satellites are a few of the problems caused by peculiarities of the Earth's magnetic field. The ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and memory.

Scientists have found that extreme solar activity drastically compresses the magnetosphere and modifies the composition of ions in near-Earth space. They are now looking to model how these changes ...

This activity is part of the Science Friday Sun Camp collection! The Sun generates an incredible amount of energy, energy that you can see and feel as light and heat. Other forms of energy from the ...
