As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.

Research shows Earth’s magnetic field may have formed with a fully molten core - protecting the planet long before the inner ...

NASA's Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission, a collaborative effort led ...

The sun likes to remind us that Earth is merely one part of a joined system. It has ultraviolet rays that can burn our skin and eyes and even drive extinction. Its light can disappear altogether ...

Magnetic field maps of the sun's corona Date: September 11, 2024 Source: Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) Summary: Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough in ...

Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other ...

Armed with a better understanding of where the Sun’s magnetic field comes from, physicists may soon stand a better chance of predicting how much activity each 11-year solar cycle holds in store.

As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.

Known as the Hale cycle, this magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun's magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state, Ryan French, a solar ...
