A team of solar scientists has identified the origins of the mechanism driving the sun's activity and sunspots. The discovery may solve one of the oldest unsolved problems in physics. The "solar dynamo" might start in the sun's outer layers rather than its interior, said Benjamin Brown, a solar physicist at CU Boulder. "Galileo first observed the sunspots 400 years ago...But he couldn't fi

NASA has selected a new instrument to study the Sun and its massive solar eruptions. The Joint EUV coronal Diagnostic Investigation (JEDI) will capture images of the Sun in extreme ultraviolet light, revealing the mechanisms of the Sun's activity. JEDI's two telescopes will be integrated into the ESA's (European Space Agency's) Vigil space weather mission. They will focus on the middle lay

Astronomers at MIT, NASA, and elsewhere have a new way to measure how fast a black hole spins, by using the wobbly aftermath from its stellar feasting. The method takes advantage of a black hole tidal disruption event - a blazingly bright moment when a black hole exerts tides on a passing star and rips it to shreds. As the star is disrupted by the black hole's immense tidal forces, half of

Scientists have long been intrigued by the possibility of life in the subsurface oceans of icy worlds like Europa and Enceladus. Recent research led by Dr. Nita Sahai, a professor at The University of Akron, provides important insights into this question. In a groundbreaking study published in the prestigious journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2024), Dr. Sahai and her

A new, higher-resolution infrared camera outfitted with a variety of lightweight filters could probe sunlight reflected off Earth's upper atmosphere and surface, improve forest fire warnings, and reveal the molecular composition of other planets. The cameras use sensitive, high-resolution strained-layer superlattice sensors, initially developed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Gree
