Solar scientists have observed a stunning display of radio waves over a sunspot, and these emissions strikingly resemble auroral displays on Earth known as the Northern Lights. Happening around 25,000 ...

Scientists uncover prolonged radio emissions above a sunspot, akin to those previously seen in the polar regions of planets and certain stars, which may reshape our understanding of intense stellar ...

A study published today in Nature Astronomy examines solar radio aurora observed almost 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers) above sunspots using the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Center for ...

Jun. 28—MORRISON — High school students across the U.S., including 10 from Morrison High School, have been part of a project that has detected radio waves associated with solar disturbances using $500 ...

Solar flares accelerate energetic electrons that escape into interplanetary space, guided by the Parker spiral magnetic field, and are responsible for the generation of the interplanetary Type III ...

Astronomers have been puzzling over fast radio bursts (FRB) for the last decade, but there's not yet any good explanation of these high-energy radio blips. Less that two dozen FRBs have been observed ...

The first of six SunRISE SmallSats is shown here at a Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory clean room being worked on by engineers. Pointed toward the camera is the SmallSat’s Sun-facing ...

For years, astronomers talked about coronal mass ejections on other stars almost like ghost stories. You hear signs, hints and clues, but never the thing itself. Our own Sun throws these storms often.

Astronomers have detailed radio observations of an extraordinary aurora-like display -- occurring 40,000 km above a relatively dark and cold patch on the Sun, known as a sunspot. In a study published ...
