The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one ...
ABSTRACT: Ocean color is determined by the complex interactions of incident light with the optical properties of suspended and dissolved substances. Such interactions give water its characteristic ...
ABSTRACT: In the present manuscript, we investigated the relativistic effects on the existence of libration points in the Sitnikov Restricted Three-Body Problem (SRTBP). The Brumberg relativistic ...
After nearly two decades in orbit, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is trying something new. Engineers have taught the spacecraft how to roll – hard. This isn’t just a simple tilt. These are ...
The European Space Agency's (ESA) Solar Orbiter spacecraft has delivered the first-ever close-up images of the Sun's enigmatic polar regions. Released this week, these historic images offer a ...
Plenty of spacecraft and telescopes have throughout the years been able to observe the sun up close – with plenty more missions on the way. In late-December 2024, NASA's Parker Solar Probe got closer ...
The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is ...
European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter was launched in 2020 It studies solar activity cycle, magnetic field, solar wind The European Space Agency on Wednesday released images taken in March using ...
Solar Orbiter took the first-ever images of the Sun's poles. These images show the Sun's corona, a superheated outer atmosphere. The images also reveal the complex movement of solar material. The ...
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 count your lucky stars: for the first time in history, scientists have ...
