In a move that could send the net-zero zealots scrambling for the smelling salts, Chevron announced this week that it has ...

The influences on Earth’s climate and weather patterns are wide ranging, from anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions to volcanism to variations in solar activity. This analysis incorporates 67 years ...

Understanding the Sun's activity is crucial for space exploration and protecting technology on Earth. Discover the four key ...

In capacity-addition terms, fossil fuels are now just a thin orange strip at the bottom of a very tall green wall.

Most headline grabbing space weather events stem from coronal mass ejections (CMEs), sudden, violent eruptions of solar plasma tied to sunspots. The January 2025 event showed that a coronal hole ...

Internal changes due to the sun's "active biorhythm" have become increasingly "skin-deep" over the past four solar activity cycles, according to a new study. Publishing its findings in Monthly Notices ...

Internal changes due to the Sun’s ‘active biorhythm’ have become increasingly ‘skin-deep’ over the past four solar activity cycles, according to a new study. Publishing its findings today (28 May) in ...

The regular solar cycle is a mere climate murmur, but sudden geomagnetic jolts are a different story. These high-altitude outbursts appear to be hijacking the polar vortex to rewrite weather on the ...

When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the Sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the Sun is a complex, dynamic celestial body, wrapped in electrical currents and magnetic ...

When the Sun reaches higher levels of activity, junk drifting in low Earth orbit loses altitude at an increased rate — and for the first time, scientists have measured that increase and identified ...

Strong solar activity can nudge space debris orbiting Earth out of the sky. By tracking the positions of 17 pieces of space debris in low Earth orbit for more than three decades, astrophysicist Ayisha ...
