This giant ‘sunflower’ follows the Sun with 360 rotating solar panels while creating shade for fish beneath the water. It's ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved a theory scientists have believed for 45 years: that stars switch their ...

The sun's differential rotation pattern has puzzled scientists for decades: While the poles rotate with a period of approximately 34 days, mid-latitudes rotate faster and the equatorial region ...

Researchers are closer to unraveling a longstanding solar mystery surrounding the extreme thinness of the sun's tachocline ...

My understanding is the planets drag the sun ever so slightly off of dead center, like a fat kid on a merry-go-round. Of course this is all relative, because the system is moving around the galaxy at ...

The interior of the Sun does not rotate at the same rate at all latitudes. The physical origin of this differential rotation is not fully understood. It turns out, long-period solar oscillations ...

Strong magnetic fields keep the equator spinning faster than the poles and prevent a rotation flip, even as stars slow down with age Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most ...
