Scientists have discovered that the sun and its nearest twin star, Alpha Centauri A, share an odd solar quirk: a puzzling cool layer in their wispy, hot atmospheres. The different temperatures of the ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

The discovery could explain how the corona's temperature greatly exceeds that of the Sun's surface, and identify a key driver of the solar wind.

A global team observed a massive plasma burst from EK Draconis, showing how early solar storms may have shaped young planets.
