In a striking new view from space, the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter has given scientists their first close-up glimpse of the sun's magnetic field near its south pole — and it is behaving in surprising ways.

The sun erupted this morning, unleashing a major solar flare. It’s the strongest of 2025, according to Space.com. It unleashed a stream of charged particles that is likely to produce Northern Lights tonight through Wednesday night.

The Sun, our nearest celestial neighbor, is undeniably a star, not a planet, as centuries of astronomical observations have confirmed. However, the boundaries of celestial definitions are continually being probed and challenged.

The Northern Lights may be visible in the U.S. on Monday, Nov. 10 and Tuesday, Nov. 11, with a G2 or G3 geomagnetic storm being forecast by space weather experts at NOAA.

Look low on the southwestern horizon at sunset on Nov. 12 for a chance to see swift Mercury close to the red light of Mars in the evening sky, but fair warning — you'll need to be quick to spot the elusive planets before they slip quickly out of sight.

Daniella, who is paired up with The Traitors star Dylan Efron, has also allegedly “warned” showrunners that if they let go of Pasha, who was paired up with Danielle Fishel, “she will walk, too.”

Mod Sun is looking back on his short-lived engagement to Avril Lavigne. "We're two different people, but I think I had a great influence on her," the musician said of Lavigne on Bunnie Xo's Dumb Blonde podcast.

The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one solar hemisphere,
