Sharpest-ever images of the Sun’s surface reveal magnetic ‘stripes’

Sharpest-ever images of the Sun’s surface reveal magnetic ‘stripes’

The sun never sits still, yet until recently our best snapshots blurred its fine threads. Now an image set from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope on Haleakalā resolves details just 20 kilometers wide, letting researchers watch bright and dark stripes move across the solar surface. “We investigate the fine-scale structure of the solar surface for the first time with …

NASA Is Watching a Huge Anomaly Growing in Earth’s Magnetic Field

NASA Is Watching a Huge Anomaly Growing in Earth’s Magnetic Field

For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa. This vast, developing phenomenon, called the South Atlantic Anomaly, has intrigued and concerned scientists for years, and perhaps none more so than NASA researchers. The space agency’s …

Humans survived harmful radiation after Earth’s magnetic field weakened

Humans survived harmful radiation after Earth’s magnetic field weakened

“The skies 41,000 years ago may have been both spectacular and threatening. When we realized this, we wanted to know whether this could have affected people living at the time,” the study authors said. How did the skies influence early human lifestyle? The study began with a simple but interesting question. What happens to life on Earth when the magnetic …
