The Sun has 55 per cent more silver in it than scientists had calculated in the past. Previous studies showed that a lot of this element was missing from our star. But now, a study has found the missing silver in the Sun.

Our Sun was missing its silver. Scientists finally know what went wrong

The most intense forms of solar storms are rare, and so we do not know exactly how Earth's magnetic field will behave when one arrives. It is highly likely that we still do not know how strong solar winds and energy can get, meaning we have been underestimating them.

NASA warns humans have underestimated the strongest solar storms - 'There could be no upper limit'

Scientists say that the Sun might not swallow Earth towards its end time. There is a chance that our planet is pushed away instead of being pulled in by the dying star. A study has claimed that this is entirely possible.

Sun may spare Earth and Mars, as study reverses course on death of our planet

Earth is highly vulnerable to a major solar storm similar to the Carrington event that occurred in 1859. At that time, there were no power grids or internet cables. So if today the same scale storm slams us, extensive damage will happen across the world.

What would happen if Carrington-scale solar storm slams Earth? Transformers will melt and satellites will fall

A recent study has found that red dwarf stars can eat planets. Even though our Sun is not a red dwarf, it also gobbled up several planets during its youth, according to several theories and models. What are the implications of the findings on red dwarfs?

Scientists now know what happened during the historic 19-day solar radio burst in 2025. They analysed data from NASA and ESA probes and revealed that a supercharged “helmet streamer” was the culprit.

A solar catastrophe could be coming this year, if a former CIA psychic spy is to be believed. Retired Major Ed Dames is no more, but he talked about the impending event for decades, saying that the Sun and a comet could devastate Earth.

Solar flare released this week is expected to bring auroras to some regions on Earth. The M-class flare was unleashed on Sunday and caused radio blackouts over the Atlantic. A minor geomagnetic storm could be coming, experts say. 

Sun unleashes M-class solar flare, auroras could light up Earth this week. Details

Star Wars-type Tatooine worlds are more common in the Milky Way and are actually better suited for planet formation. There is a hostile region near binary stars, but once it is crossed, the chaos ebbs and young planets can be born.

Hostile twin star systems birth more planets, and then kick them out

The Sun could enter a dimming period without any warning, an analysis of a 70-year grand solar minimum has shown. Scientists used Kepler's pinhole camera data to figure out what went wrong with the Sun, and found the answer. 

Sun mysteriously shut down for 70 years, indicating a hibernation could strike Earth any time

A major British scientific breakthrough has pushed nuclear fusion the same process that powers the Sun closer to becoming a real-world energy source. From UK labs to U.S. lasers, China’s artificial sun and India’s fusion roadmap, this video explains what fusion is, why it matters, and how it could revolutionise global energy forever.

Scientists think they have found what keeps our Earth habitable. But their analysis started with something totally different: to understand what our interstellar surroundings would have been like 4.4 million years ago. This quest landed them on two monster stars 400 light-years away.

If the Sun were to start dimming, what would happen to Earth? Will a gradual dimming keep our planet unaffected, or will it spell doom? If sunlight were to vanish all of a sudden, that would fling Earth out of the solar system, with all life wiped out soon.

What if the sun started dimming? What could happen to Earth? Gradual and sudden scenarios explained

The Fall of Icarus - Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy captured skydiver Gabriel C. Brown falling off with the Sun behind him, with its sunspots and other details clearly visible. It is a shot that has never been taken before.

A supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy has just unleashed a flare 10 trillion times brighter than our Sun! This incredible event occurred after the black hole consumed a star, sending out an energetic jet of light and energy that has stunned the scientific community. Known as a Tidal Disruption Event, this phenomenon saw the star being spaghettified before a portion of its material was violently expelled into space.
Scientists are scrambling to rewrite astrophysics textbooks to account for this record-shattering release of energy, which challenges our understanding of cosmic power limits.

Black Hole Unleashes Flare 10 Trillion Times Brighter Than the Sun!

The Sun will die in about 5 billion years, swelling into a red giant and burning Earth’s oceans dry. Life will end long before the Sun’s outer layers fall off, leaving a white dwarf star. Know what this means for our planet.

What will happen to Earth when the Sun dies?

A young sun threatened to gobble up everything that was swirling around it. But then Jupiter started to take shape and grow, and as it did so, it created different zones that caught the material that later formed Earth, Mars and Venus.

Jupiter is literally the father of not just Earth, but the entire solar system. Here's why

Astronomers have found massive asteroids lurking in the Sun's blind spot capable of wiping out continents if they ever hit Earth. The discovery exposes the chilling reality of our planet’s most dangerous cosmic blind spot.

A space storm specialist has warned that Earth could face mass extinction within this decade as a geostorm is due to occur any time. In fact, we are already witnessing some changes in the form of the worsening climate.

Europe swelters under record-breaking heat waves. From Scotland's beaches crowded with heat wary residents to Serbian farmers battling dying crops and Moscow residents enduring scorching temperatures. Watch in for more details!

Our Sun is not the biggest star in the universe. Several giants exist out there of monstrous proportions. If any of them were to be hypothetically placed in our solar system in place of the Sun, chaos would ensue. 

What would happen if the five largest stars in the universe replaced our Sun?

The Sun has a huge scar on it after a solar filament exploded on the surface recently. Astronomers spotted a huge plasma whip above it a few days back. The eruption not only released plasma and solar material into space, but also hit the Sun really hard.

Our Sun just inflicted a 400,000-kilometre-long scar on itself. Here's what happened

Total solar eclipse of 2027: On August 2, 2027, the Great North African Eclipse will plunge the world into darkness for six minutes. Several countries will witness a magnificent total solar eclipse. Something like this is not expected to happen for another 100 years.

6-minute total solar eclipse will plunge major parts of world into darkness. Is your city on the list?
