Researchers have found that the sun's magnetic field allows the release of wave energy from its interior, permitting sound waves to travel through thin fountains, or "spicules", upward and into ...

Mysterious, inexplicably fast waves are coming out of the Sun, scientists say. The wave are moving three times more quickly than was previously thought possible, according to new research.

Astronomers have found waves made up of eddies of plasma inside the sun, and they can’t explain why they are travelling three times faster than similar waves ...

Huge, slow-moving waves that drive Earth's weather and shape the swirls in Jupiter's atmosphere also exist on the sun, new research reveals.

Rossby waves also occur here on Earth in the upper atmosphere and in the ocean. In the atmosphere, they shape weather patterns like the jet stream and distribute heat more evenly between the ...

Scientists have seen huge, extra-powerful particles shooting out of the sun, in what they have described as a brand new solar phenomenon. Researchers have for the first time ever spotted what they ...

The sun's corona is 200 times hotter than its surface, defying models of stellar bodies. Now, this 80-year-old puzzle may finally have a solution.

Our solar system's planets may have formed at differing times, determined by shock waves flowing from the young sun, one astronomer suggests.

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious new type of acoustic wave on the surface of the sun. These high-frequency waves, shown above, swirl three times faster than predicted by current working ...

Scientists have spotted the iconic surfer's wave rolling through the atmosphere of the sun. The waves hold clues as to how energy moves through that atmosphere, known as the corona. Since ...

That's where the new work comes into play, tracing waves as they heat up the plasma at the sun's surface and gathering the first observational evidence of the phenomenon.

Curie aims to investigate the enigmatic origins of radio waves emanating from the Sun, a phenomenon first observed decades ago.
