Gas-giant planets orbiting close to other stars have powerful magnetic fields, many times stronger than our own Jupiter, according to a new study by a team of astrophysicists. It is the first time the ...

An international team of astronomers, led by a researcher from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), has shown that the sun's magnetic activity has a significant influence on its seismic characterization, ...

The relationship between solar magnetic activity and solar wind parameters, with observed time-delayed mutual coupling, is an outstanding challenge in space physics. In this study, drawing inspiration ...

A new model contradicts previous theories that the sun's magnetic field originates deep inside its interior. Deep origin theories could not explain rotation patterns of the sun's gas near its surface ...

Examining a city's magnetic footprint can be used to monitor the health of that city, including a possible early warning system for trouble with pollution and as a tool for optimizing energy ...

The sun is having an identity crisis: Because it shows different magnetic activity and rotation rates than other stars in its current classification, scientists have debated whether the sun is really ...

When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the Sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the Sun is a complex, dynamic celestial body, wrapped in electrical currents and magnetic ...

Astronomers studying the atmospheres of several intensely heated exoplanets uncovered an unexpected pattern that may reveal a ...

A new model that posits the same physical process is responsible for magnetic field and the rotation patterns, contradicting previous theories that the sun’s magnetic field originates deep inside its ...

This illustration lays a depiction of the sun's magnetic fields over an image captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The complex overlay of lines can teach scientists about the ways the sun's ...
