A new study has revealed an unexpected link between solar storms and the flux of high-energy cosmic rays arriving at Earth.

One of the biggest unanswered questions in solar physics may have gained an unexpected new lead. Researchers analyzing ...

The source of potentially hazardous solar particles, released from the Sun at high speed during storms in its outer atmosphere, has been located for the first time by researchers at UCL and George ...

The European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter mission has split the flood of energetic particles flung out into space from the sun into two groups, tracing each back to a different kind of outburst from ...

The Sun has produced another powerful X-class solar flare, underscoring the heightened activity of Solar Cycle 25 and ...

The NASA/ESA Solar Orbiter recently recorded the highest-ever concentration of a rare helium isotope (3He) emitted from the Sun. A Southwest Research Institute-led team of scientists sought the source ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists observed the first close-ups of a source of energetic particles expelled from the Sun, viewing them from just half an astronomical unit (AU), or about 46 ...

Commonly seen velocity dispersion feature is marked with blue circles in lower energy range observed by Solar Orbiter, while the onset of inverse velocity particles is indicated with orange triangles ...

The Sun is the source of energy for life on Earth and is the strongest modulator of the human physical environment. In fact, the Sun’s influence extends throughout the solar system, both through ...

Solar Orbiter observed more than 300 bursts of ‘Solar Energetic Electrons’ between November 2020 and December 2022. For the first time, we clearly see the connection between the energetic electrons in ...
