High-energy, powerful, and violent stellar explosions called "superflares" have been found to erupt from stars like the sun roughly once every 100 years, making these blasts far more common than ...

Whenever the sun throws out a big solar storm, we’ve got the observatories and telescope to monitor it closely. Even storms that happened a few centuries ago are recorded in tree rings and isotopes.

Stars like our own Sun produce “superflares” around once every 100 years, surprising astronomers who had previously estimated that such events occurred only every 3000 to 6000 years. The result, from ...

By studying the Sun’s acoustic waves, scientists are uncovering its hidden dynamics, refining stellar models, and influencing ...

"The large volume of data from Rubin will give us a sample of all kinds of Type Ia supernovas at a range of distances and in ...

"We have by and large been ignoring triples in models and simulations — we're just starting to understand how these types of systems evolve." If you gaze at the night sky on a clear night ...

Otherwise it looks like a normal Sun-like star. The term "blue" is a bit of a misnomer because the star's color blends in with all the other solar-mass stars in the cluster. Hence it is sort of ...
