Our Sun may appear calm from Earth’s vantage point, but the space surrounding it is a tumultuous environment. Recent studies, such as one led by the team at theLeibniz Institute for Astrophysics ...

Our sun can seem deceptively peaceful from Earth, but only because we have the luxury of living 150 million kilometers away. Up close, it's a nuclear-fuelled carnival ride of terror, launching ...

A spacecraft now moves through a region once thought unreachable, sampling the thin outer atmosphere of the Sun at distances ...

The star at the center of the solar system does more than provide light and warmth. It also acts as the most powerful particle accelerator in the neighborhood, whipping electrons to near-light speed ...

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 now at the most active point in its roughly 11‑year solar cycle, and scientists say the current peak has arrived ...

Solar Orbiter has identified the Sun’s dual “engines” for superfast electrons: explosive flares and sweeping coronal mass ejections. By catching over 300 events close to their origin, the mission has ...

Close to the sun, the solar wind, a steady stream of charged particles, accelerates until it cannot turn back. During a record pass about 3.8 million miles above the surface, Parker Solar Probe ...

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 ...

Tezpur University study shows how high-energy electrons alter solar oscillations and energy transport, aiding understanding ...

A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths.

Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology on Thursday, March 27, at 11am for a virtual seminar by Jamie S. Rankin, "Survey of Energetic Particles Viewed by Parker Solar Probe." ...
