The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. What causes this switch in polarity, and is it dangerous for anything on Earth? Let's take a deep dive into the phenomenon of ...

March 2026 could be the best month for the northern lights until the mid-2030s, as celestial mechanics and solar activity combine for potentially potent results.

Climate data in a report published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate.gov website found that the sun’s solar activity, including overall brightness and sunspot ...

NASA recently announced that as of late October, the Sun has reached solar maximum: a repeating crescendo of solar activity that often comes with increased solar flares. True to form, it seems like ...

A single patch on the Sun recently stayed hyperactive for 94 straight days, hurling flare after flare into space and setting a new record for continuous monitoring of such a volatile region. The ...

Solar observers are in for an electrifying time. The total solar eclipse will grace North America on April 8th, and with our celestial neighbor entering a phase of heightened activity known as a solar ...

Solar physicists and seismologists are testing a provocative idea: that violent outbursts from the Sun could be linked to the timing of some large earthquakes. New statistical work reports ...

Despite only being halfway through our current solar cycle, the sun is showing signs of starting another. The sun is approaching the solar maximum of its current 11-year solar cycle, meaning that it ...

The solar cycle is a natural cycle the Sun goes through as it transitions between low and high magnetic activity. Roughly every 11 years, at the height of the solar cycle, the Sun’s magnetic poles ...
