Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved ...

After four decades of searching, solar scientists have at long last found evidence of a type of seismic wave in our Sun. Thanks to ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric ...

A team of researchers at Nagoya University has used Japan’s most powerful supercomputer to show that Sun-like stars likely keep the same internal spin pattern for their entire lives, a finding that ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 1612, Galileo Galilei looked at the sun through a telescope, drew what he saw, and observed that sunspots — dark areas near the ...

Based on time-series photometry from three different telescopes, an international team of astronomers has performed a detailed asteroseismology study of WD J0049−2525—the most massive pulsating white ...

The Earth and the entire Solar System depend on the Sun for warmth and gravity as it floats around in space, with the bright yellow ball of light being the center of the many planets surrounding it, ...

A solar eclipse recorded in ancient China more than 2,700 years ago is helping scientists refine measurements of Earth’s rotation and investigate the Sun’s past behavior.

The Sun turns, but not in the way a solid object would. It has no hard surface, no fixed edge to follow. What scientists describe as solar rotation comes from watching patterns move across a glowing, ...
