Far above the Sun’s bright surface, a steady stream of charged particles accelerates into space. This outflow, known as the solar wind, starts nearly motionless and then races outward at hundreds of ...

This study provides an unparalleled estimate of the magnitude, structure, and evolution of magnetic fields inside the Sun over three decades, which is tremendously important for understanding how our ...

Using the combined might of spacecraft scattered across the Solar System, scientists have built the most detailed map yet of the boundary where the Sun's magnetic push no longer accelerates the solar ...

The sun’s outer atmosphere resembles a pufferfish. That’s what scientists have gleaned from the first verified maps of the shifting boundary between the sun and the rest of the solar system. “The ...
