Citizen scientists reviewing NASA data discovered unusually high Solar flare rates, helping researchers better understand the ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Jackson College invites students, staff and the community to a special presentation by noted scientist, heliophysicist Rebecca Robinson.

Groundbreaking advances in solar and space physics have provided key insights into the inner workings of the heliosphere, the vast protective bubble formed by the solar wind that extends from the Sun ...

What processes are responsible for heating solar flares and what dangers do they pose to Earth? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an ...

Solar physics investigates the complex processes occurring in our Sun – the nearest star and a prototypical example of stellar activity. Central to the discipline is an understanding of the Sun’s ...

The SETI Institute recently hosted the Joint IRIS and MUSE Science Team Meeting, bringing together more than 50 solar physicists from around the world for an intensive week of collaboration and ...

Researchers have directly observed torsional Alfvén waves twisting through the Sun’s corona — magnetic waves first predicted over 80 years ago. Captured using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, ...

The Committee on Solar and Space Physics (CSSP) provides an independent, authoritative forum for identifying and discussing issues in solar and space physics with the research community, the federal ...

Far from the Sun’s heat, orbiting the outer planets of the solar system, are moons with oceans of liquid water beneath their frozen surfaces. Keith Cooper finds out how planetary scientists are ...

The use of better-quality data can improve the business case for a number of solar projects. Image: Photon Group. The integrity of a PV project largely depends on the quality of the solar, ...
