Researchers using the Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network, known as BiSON, have detected subtle structural differences ...

The Sun's internal structure shows subtle changes even during the calmer phases.

Scientists have analyzed more than 40 years of astronomical data to uncover evidence that the sun's internal structure subtly ...

During these phases, sunspots and solar eruptions are uncommon. At this time, the Sun’s magnetic field is mainly dipolar. Signs of magnetic activity at active latitudes become hard to see.

A 40-year study shows the Sun’s internal structure subtly shifts between quiet cycles, offering clues to future solar ...

The Sun undergoes a cycle of activity that lasts about 11 years, experiencing a minimum of activity and a maximum of activity ...

According to a new analysis of decades' worth of data, the lulls in the Sun's 11-year activity cycle aren't identical – and measurable shifts in its internal vibrations occurred during the deepest ...

The Sun’s extremely hot outer layer, the corona, has a very different chemical composition from the cooler inner layers, but the reason for this has puzzled scientists for decades. One explanation is ...

Small-scale magnetic structures of the ‘quiet sun’ at high resolution. Credit: DKIST Astronomers are one step closer to understanding one of the most enduring solar mysteries, having captured ...

Imagine for a minute that you have been transported to the middle layers of the sun’s atmosphere. The sun’s surface, the “visible disc” scientists call the photosphere, boils below you, red-hot plasma ...
