The Sun, which provides us with light and heat, is also the site of immense phenomena. In 2017, a powerful solar flare emitted gamma rays whose origin left astronomers puzzled. These emissions ...

In a dramatic escalation of solar activity, the sun has unleashed an X8.3 flare — 2026’s strongest yet — causing radio ...

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 ...

3D visualization of an ELM in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamk as simulated with the MEGA code. The tokamak volue is colored according to the ELM structure. TheELM interacts with the energetic particle whose ...

NASA’s IMAP spacecraft studies charged particles, energetic neutral atoms, and magnetic fields at the heliosphere’s boundaries, providing real-time space weather data for Earth and spacecraft.

Energetic particles streaming into the atmosphere create spectacular displays of polar lights, known as auroras. Scientists have now identified the power source that drives the electric fields that ...

Astrophysicists have detected the most energetic electrons ever recorded raining down on Earth. With trillions of times the energy of visible light, these cosmic rays seem to be coming from a powerful ...

They're tiny, invisible, and travel across the universe. And trillions of them just flew through your body. What are they? Neutrinos ‒ and scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of the most ...
