Like the Earth, the sun likely has swirling polar vortices, according to new research led by the U.S. National Science ...

Model simulations offer insights into the fundamental properties of the solar magnetic field. New studies suggest that the Sun, like Earth, has polar vortices influenced by its magnetic environment. U ...

The latest model suggests that just like Earth, the Sun’s poles are also showing polar vortices. But with a twist ... So ...

In the simulations, a tight ring of polar vortices forms at around 55 degrees latitude, the equivalent of Earth’s Arctic circle. After forming, the vortices head toward the poles in a tightening ring, ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team has now demonstrated ...

The Sun’s activity is what gives us beautiful auroras – but it also has dramatic negative effects on satellites that go ...

NOAA's new Compact Coronagraph, CCOR-1, onboard the GOES-19 satellite, has begun transmitting its first images, revealing ...

Rainfall totals may exceed half an inch through parts of Eastern Washington and North Idaho. The snow level will be around ...

Oct. 23, 2024 — U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) imaging instruments on three sun-orbiting observatories have captured sequences of comet C/2023 A3, known as Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, as it passed ...

The cryovolcanic "centaur" comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann has erupted four times in less than 48 hours, becoming unusually ...

Below is an animation of that event, the island is located at the top of the frame and the vortices are produced at regular intervals as the wind splits around the mountain peak under northwest winds.
