According to the latest studies led by Heidelberg University astronomers, low-mass stars quite often host Earth-like planets. Data collected as part of the CARMENES project were the basis of this ...

Distant star explosions could have wiped out life on Earth twice Study finds supernovas close enough to do harm to Earth happen about once every 400 million years.

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactor… ...

Scientists said the sun is now in its solar maximum, or the peak of its 11-year solar cycle.

Fastest Coronal Mass Ejection Of This Cycle Triggers Severe Geomagnetic Storm Warning Chances of aurorae and disruptions are heightened as a tsunami of plasma races towards Earth.

The star was at the end of its life cycle when it profusely produced and expelled dust into space more than 4.6 billion years ago.

During each cycle, the sun's magnetic field undergoes a complete reversal, meaning the magnetic north and south poles switch places, which occurs around the solar maximum.

This requires that angular momentum transport is small throughout the star and also that the wind does not remove a significant quantity of rotational angular momentum throughout the life of the star.

With wobbling stars, astronomers gauge mass of 126 exoplanets and find 15 new ones Peer-Reviewed Publication University of Kansas ...
