Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough in solar physics by successfully producing detailed maps of the Sun's coronal magnetic fields. This milestone promises to enhance our understanding of ...

For decades after its discovery, observers could only see the solar chromosphere for a few fleeting moments: during a total solar eclipse, when a bright red glow ringed the Moon’s silhouette. More ...

New research is turning a long‑standing hunch about sea turtles into a detailed map of how these animals read the planet itself. Scientists are now showing that turtles do not just sense Earth’s ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped the magnetic polarity of active regions on the Sun’s far side without direct observation, using helioseismology to interpret sound waves traveling through ...

Loggerhead turtles are able to sense Earth's magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn't clear which sense the animals use to detect the magnetic field when navigating using the magnetic map they are ...

Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) can learn to associate food with the geomagnetic signatures of various oceanic regions, suggesting that they are able to find known foraging areas using an ...
