All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the solar wind, high-energy particle transport, and galaxy formation. Small-scale ...

"This is the largest solar radiation storm in over 20 years," the Space Weather Prediction Center said on Monday.

Solar wind sounds poetic, but it's a very real and powerful phenomenon, connecting the Sun to every part of our solar system.

Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, ...

The Sun’s magnetic fields are the fundamental agents driving a wide array of dynamic phenomena in the corona, from flares to jets and the acceleration of the solar wind. Recent advances in ...

An SwRI-led study identified particles accelerated to extremely high energies by magnetic reconnection near the Sun. As NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (trajectory shown in green) crossed the heliospheric ...
