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.

Solar 'micronova' could cook us: Earth faces mass extinction threat in 10-25 years

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!


UK Swelters Under Heatwave, Residents Flock To Beaches To Beat The Heat

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?

NASA has shared a video and photo of solar winds flowing through the Sun's corona from an extremely close distance. Coronal Mass Ejections impact Earth and other planets, and can prove dangerous to astronauts. Parker probe findings can heko understand Sun’s influence across the solar system.

The sun has blasted a powerful X ray towards Earth, which caused blackouts over the Pacific, including Hawaii. There is more in store as the sunspot has released more solar material.

Two spacecraft, about 1.5 metres in size, synchronised so neatly in outer space that they managed to cover the Sun and create an artificial total solar eclipse.

The strongest solar storm happened 14,300 years ago: The sun has triggered Extreme Solar Particle Events only on a few occasions. Can humans witness one? Science & Tech Trending

Most dangerous solar storm to hit Earth potentially altered life thousands of years ago

The Sun has spoken and its message is a warning. On May 13, 2025, our star erupted with the most powerful solar flare of the year, an X-class monster that sent shockwaves racing across the solar system. Watch the story to know why scientists are warning of something much more dangerous.

The UK is funding $60 million in real-world experiments to reflect sunlight and cool the Earth, marking its first foray into climate geoengineering.

The sun is once again active, and a sunspot is releasing flares, one of which whiplashed a whopping 1 million kilometres. Last year, our star was active for several weeks, releasing Coronal Mass ejections, triggering auroras on Earth and disrupting radio signals. However, what we have experienced is nothing in comparison to what happened 14,300 years ago.
