While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own ...

Ancient volcanic rocks reveal how two giant hot regions beneath Africa and the Pacific have shaped Earth's magnetic shield.

From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

Every few years, the sun seems to change its mood. Dark spots appear and ...

New radio observations of the Milky Way are exposing hidden patterns in its magnetic field. People have scanned the night sky ...

Polarized light observations from ALMA reveal the magnetic structures and galactic outflows in Arp 220, the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxy to Earth, providing detailed field maps.

The sun’s surface is a brilliant display of sunspots and flares driven by the solar magnetic field, which is internally generated through a process called dynamo action. Astrophysicists have assumed ...
