Even if Earth does survive, it won’t be pretty. The temperature of our planet will be about 1,300 degrees C, hot enough to ...

We Earthlings see the sun every day of our lives—but gaining a truly new view of our star is a rare and precious thing. So ...

"We didn't know what exactly to expect from these first observations – the sun's poles are literally terra incognita,” Sami ...

Most of Earth's water is in the oceans and too salty to drink. Desalination plants can make seawater drinkable, but they ...

In a leap toward sustainable desalination, researchers have created a solar-powered sponge-like aerogel that turns seawater into drinkable water using just sunlight and a plastic cover. Unlike ...

Every image you've ever seen of the sun is looking at its equator, because Earth's orbit sits there with a 7.25-degree tilt. That means humans have never had a good angle to view the sun's north ...

Well, the pole's magnetic field, simply put, is a mess at the moment. See, the sun's magnetic field flips roughly every 11 years, and it's about to flip this year if it hasn't yet.

“When the sun is at its minimum, you have a north pole and a south pole, each with its own magnetic polarity,” Anik De Groof, Solar Orbiter’s mission manager, tells the New York Times ...

“When the sun is at its minimum, you have a north pole and a south pole, each with its own magnetic polarity,” said Anik De Groof, Solar Orbiter’s mission manager.

The sun rises and sets every day. We plan our lives around it. It's ironic, then, that "we know so little about the star at the center of our solar system," says Matina Gkioulidou, a space physicist ...

The opening of the science centre at Ontario Place has already been pushed back from 2028 to 2029. A report from the auditor general late last year found that the cost estimate for building and ...
