The Sun's magnetic 'engine' is located 200,000 kilometers below its surface, new study claims
Helioseismic data traces the solar dynamo to the tachocline about 200,000 km down.
Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense ...
Did you know it rains on the Sun? Not water, of course. It's solar rain, which occurs in the Sun's corona, the outermost layer composed of intensely hot plasma. This phenomenon involves cooler, ...

Geomagnetic storms may spark auroras in northern Michigan and Maine after a strange explosion on the surface of the sun. On July 21, a magnetic filament connected to sunspot AR3757 erupted, sending ...
An astrophotographer has captured a jaw-dropping 236,000 mile-high wall of Sun plasma. Argentinan Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau, 51, snapped the amazing spectacle on Wednesday (17 July). Eduardo, of ...
A NASA spacecraft watching the sun has caught a dazzling view of a solar eruption that launched a vast tendril of magnetic plasma into space. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the sun ...
A plume of "dark plasma" is heading toward Earth after being burped out by the sun. This coronal mass ejection (CME) was flung out from a long magnetic filament on the sun's surface and is set to ...
