The Sun Is Waking Up—And Scientists Warn Earth Could Feel the Heat
Since 2008—a year marked by the weakest solar activity on record—the Sun has been steadily reawakening. Instead of slipping into a long "quiet phase" as scientists once

NASA scientists are warning that the sun may be "waking up" from a brief period of relative inactivity, contradicting past assumptions
NASA scientists are warning that the sun may be "waking up" from a brief period of relative inactivity, contradicting past assumptions about our home star. If true, this could mean

It''s heating from both ends of the system — from the blazing crown of the solar sphere above, and the unstable, churning core of the planet below. And it''s happening at the
"All signs were pointing to the Sun going into a prolonged phase of low activity," Jamie Jasinski, a space plasma physicist at NASA''s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the study''s
Our research focuses on unravelling the heating mechanisms at play in strong magnetic field regions, called ''plage'' regions. Under quiescent, non-flaring conditions, these
Earth''s climate system is undergoing dramatic changes faster than many scientists expected. According to a new scientific analysis, our planet is now absorbing twice as much
Since 1978, scientists have been tracking this using sensors on satellites, which tell us that there has been no upward trend in the amount of solar energy reaching our planet.

Scientists have been monitoring the Sun long enough to observe that there has not been a drastic increase in the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth''s upper atmosphere, called solar

Solar activity is driven by the sun magnetic field. It manifests in many forms such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, high-speed solar wind, and solar energetic particles. The
Solar scientists from Iowa to Siberia have overlaid the last several warm periods on our planet with known variations in our sun''s activity and found, according to Mr. Solanki, "a
