Diamond is more than a dazzling gem—the extremely hard form of carbon makes up the pellet that encases fuel for inertial ...

Scientists have discovered incredibly tiny plasma whirlpools swirling across the Sun’s surface, some just 20 kilometers wide.

Scientists have captured images of the sun's surface in the finest detail yet, revealing a strange and dynamic facade. It's ...

Scientists have finally seen a long-predicted motion on the sun, and it may help explain explosive solar activity.

With the power of the world’s largest solar telescope, astronomers have successfully glimpsed the sun’s roiling surface in ...

The sharpest images ever taken of the Sun’s surface reveal ribbons of solar plasma curling into tight, wave-like vortices near the edge of a sunspot - a pattern never before seen on our star. The ...

Observed directly in the solar photosphere for the first time, the vortices might braid magnetic fields, thought to be ...

Images of the sun’s surface that were published in a new study show turbulent, vortex-like structures in unprecedented detail ...

A new analysis suggests the Sun holds far more silver than earlier estimates indicated. More advanced models of the solar atmosphere raised the calculated amount by 55 percent, bringing it into much ...

Rachel Feltman: Hey listeners, it’s Rachel here. Before we get into today’s episode, I just wanted to acknowledge our unexplained absence from your feed over the last few weeks. To make a long story ...

Since the 2000s, our light exposure has changed drastically as we make our buildings more energy-efficient. Now, we’re ...
