In a striking new view from space, the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter has given scientists their first close-up ...

Based on the grazing view, the general consensus was that the plasma cells and the magnetic field shifted poleward more slowly than at the equator. But Solar Orbiter has shown that the speed is higher ...

Anytime astronomers figure out a new way of looking for magnetic fields in ever more remote regions of the cosmos, inexplicably, they find them. These force fields — the same entities that emanate ...

Astronomers have gotten their best view yet of the magnetic fields around the gargantuan black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Using the Event Horizon Telescope, a global collection of radio ...

Scientists have revealed their analysis of the first close-up view of the Sun's south pole. ESA's spacecraft Solar Orbiter ...

Astronomers have captured the first view of polarized light and the magnetic fields that surround Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milly Way. The new EHT ...

Magnetic fields are produced by electrical currents that are generated by various astrophysical objects. The study of magnetic fields seeks to understand their origin, as well as the acceleration of ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, but new satellite data shows otherwise.

Two years after producing the first-ever image of a black hole, an international team of researchers has released an updated view of the magnetic fields surrounding it — a development they say brings ...
