The North Pole, often a subject of fascination, lies at the very top of our planet, but its exact location can be difficult to pinpoint on a standard map. Geographically, it is located over the Arctic ...

As if to prove the difficulty of preparing for the unforeseen, the organizer of a recent prepper convention wasn’t ready for ...

While a normal magnet has a clear north and south pole, the PHI instrument's magnetic field measurements show that both north and south polarity magnetic fields are present at the Sun's south pole.

The instrument captured the first Doppler measurement of the Sun's south pole, allowing researchers to map the movement of solar material between layers of the star's atmosphere.

Messy Magnetism and a Solar Speed Map According to the ESA, the Sun’s south pole was studied with three scientific instruments in March, including the Solar Orbiter’s PHI. This tool not only takes ...

Geomagnetic storms disrupt Earth’s magnetic fields around the north and south poles, where electrons accelerate and “ bombard ” the upper atmosphere while creating aurora borealis.

For the first time, direct images of the Sun's south pole have been captured, providing unparalleled insights into its magnetic field and the intricate 11-year solar cycle.

Normally, a magnet has a clear north and south pole, but the orbiter's PHI instrument showed that both north and south polarity magnetic fields are present at the sun's south pole right now.

Thanks to its newly tilted orbit around the Sun, the European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the first to image the Sun’s poles from outside the ecliptic plane. Solar Orbiter’s unique ...

Meanwhile, both the Sun’s south and north poles are speckled with red and blue patches. This demonstrates that at small scales, the Sun’s magnetic field has a complex and ever-changing structure.

For the first time, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun. The images captured by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft reveal our star's magnetic field is a powder keg ready to blow.
