(Natural News) Scientists have studied the Sun for a long time. But solar phenomena such as sunspots have remained a mystery. Researchers from the University of Washington attempted to solve the puzzle by creating a model of the Sun’s plasma flow. They showed that a thin layer beneath its surface plays a vital role in the formation of sunspots and other […]

(Natural News) Scientists can take a better look at the Sun after a European team of researchers upgraded a solar telescope called GREGOR, located at the Teide Observatory in the Canary Islands. Recent observations using the telescope offer a spectacular, unprecedented glimpse into the Sun’s surface. An image captured magnetic structures, which resembled the craggy, golden texture of […]

(Natural News) A massive Earth-facing sunspot was detected earlier this August, raising concerns over the possibility of solar flares. Experts project that the sunspot, part of the cluster tagged as AR2770, is going to grow in size — its dark primary core is already estimated to be about the diameter of Mars. Amateur astronomer Martin Wise of Trenton, […]
