Astrophotographer captures colossal 'Godzilla' plasma cloud stalking the edge of the sun (video)
Remarkable backyard footage captures giant solar prominence and streams of coronal rain flowing along the sun's magnetic ...
Using measurements of the four ESA’s Cluster satellites, a study published this week in Nature Physics shows pioneering experimental evidence of magnetic reconnection also in turbulent ‘plasma’ around ...
Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...
Even though Earth’s magnetic field shields us from solar wind and space weather–it doesn’t always offer complete protection. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism in Earth’s space environment ...
How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion years, but observations of galaxies in our universe imply shorter ...

Solar activity follows an 11-year cycle – here’s how it controls eruptions and solar flares
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 ...
