The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

Well, the pole's magnetic field, simply put, is a mess at the moment. See, the sun's magnetic field flips roughly every 11 years, and it's about to flip this year if it hasn't yet.

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint mission between the European Space Agency and NASA, is the first to venture into a ...

Most people have never seen the Little Dipper, because most of its stars are too dim to be seen through light-polluted skies.

The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is ...

Image source: ESA & NASA/Solar Orbiter/PHI, EUI and SPICE Teams We know that our Sun goes through a relatively quiet period, where the Sun’s south and north pole are clearly defined.

As seen in the PHI view, the southern pole shows signs of both north and south polarity magnetic fields, and all very weak compared to the equator. In other words, right now our host star has no ...

Just a few days after snapping these images, the ESA spacecraft reached a maximum viewing angle of 17 degrees, which it sits in currently as it performs its first "pole-to-pole" orbit of our star.

The first ever images of the sun's south pole have been snapped by satellite launched by the European Space Agency (ESA). Until now, every image of the sun has been taken from straight on, along ...
