When sunspots erupt at nearly the same time, it could be something known as "sympathetic solar flares." A double eruption ...

Scientists have found a way to spot active regions of the sun, below the solar surface, a full day or two before they erupt as sunspots on our nearest star, researchers said.

A pair of linked solar flares recently exploded near-simultaneously from sunspots on different hemispheres of our home star, triggering radio blackouts on Earth. When you purchase through links on ...

Computer model provides a unified physical explanation. The new simulations capture pairs of sunspots with opposite polarity. In striking detail, they reveal the dark central region, or umbra ...

Sun spots are a form of solar weather that goes through 11 year cycles. They are also associated with massive ejections of plasma and electromagnetic particles from the sun, ...

These large sunspots typically occur in pairs: each magnetic field pointed in a different direction, where these two meet is often where solar flares occur.

Larger sunspots are visible to the naked eye, but a filter is still required and can be found on Amazon. Immediately after turning telescopes on the heavens, astronomers discovered spots on the Sun.

In visible light, sunspots look like dark blotches that often expel flares of searing plasma. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory offers a different view.

Sunspots occur in pairs, with a leader and a follower. They originate deep within the Sun and become visible when they pop out. Their number is not constant but shows a minimum and then rises up ...

The most powerful solar telescope in the world has recorded a major milestone atop an active volcano in Hawaii, capturing a detailed image of a cluster of sunspots with the telescope's new Visible ...
