Solar cycles are tracked by the number of sunspots we see. These cycles typically last for about 11 years, as the number of sunspots and solar activity ramp up to a maximum and then return to a minimum. This graph shows the previous three solar cycles, the last o...
This massive 'solar twister' spun near the Sun's north pole for over three days!We've seen some very interesting activity near the Sun's north pole lately. First there was the immense polar vortex that fascinated solar and space weather scientists in early February. Now...
Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA, said in a press release that the research on planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, called "exoplanets," “gives us hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth.” The find brings to...
"The flyby, the second at this distance and speed, allows the spacecraft to conduct unrivaled scientific measurements of the solar wind and related activity," the statement reads. Scientists hope the close-up data collected by the probe will help them better predict space weather as...
which monitors solar activity. “We definitely have moved on from the era where a forecaster looked at observations, licked their thumb, stuck it up in the wind and said, ‘OK, a storm is a-comin’.’” With current models, forecasters can now look at the complexity of active regions ...
As much as any of us would like to see a real dragon breathe flames into the winter sky, buzzkill NASA blames solar activity — as usual — for the writhing, "fire-breathing"- aurora that loomed over Iceland earlier this month. Auroras like this occur when some of the sun's many magne...

The sun is steadilygrowing more activeas it nears its predicted peak in activity in 2025, so the eclipse in April next year will likely capture more activity on the sun compared to the 2017 total solar eclipse.
Figuring out where the space lab will fall is a complex calculation of the station's altitude, the height of the Earth's atmosphere (which changes according to solar activity) and the station's shape. The space lab will make dozens of orbits between March 30 and April 3, making it extrem...
FPAR is estimated at 1:30 pm Local Solar Time (LCT). The LAI/FPAR products use the sinusoidal grid tiling system (Myneni and Park, 2015; Yan et al., 2016), and are distributed in hierarchical data format (HDF) files. Each file contains six Science Data Sets (SDS): FPAR, LAI, ...
