OSIRIS-APEX emerged “unscathed” from its closest-ever pass to our sun on January 2, scientists announced on Tuesday (May 28). The probe, originally known as OSIRIS-RExhas completed its monster return mission to the asteroid Bennu and is now headed to the space rock Apophis on an extended mission. That new mission requires OSIRIS-APEX to hover 40 … Read more

US radio disruptions as historic sunspot fires a ‘remarkable’ X-flare

A powerful solar flare has spewed from the same sunspot that produced the spectacular Northern Lights displays on May 10. The May 29 solar flare was measured as a class X1.4 eruption, one of the most powerful types of solar flares, and caused radio blackouts in the US and Western Europe. The sunspot that caused … Read more

New research puts the sun’s magnetic field close to the surface, upending decades of theories

Menu

New research shows that the Sun’s magnetic field originates near the surface and not deep within the star. . This upends decades of prevailing scientific thinking, which placed the field more than 130,000 miles below the surface of the sun. It also brings us closer to understanding the nature of the Sun’s magnetic field, which … Read more

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized planet that is receiving so much radiation that its atmosphere has long since eroded away, leaving it barren. Life as we know it cannot exist on this sizzling world, but astronomers are interested in it for another reason: for the first time, they may be able to see the geology … Read more
