Researchers have detected an exoplanet that appears to be far too massive for its host star. According to the study published in the journal Science, researchers said the exoplanet- called LHS 3154b- is 13 times bigger than Earth, and is orbiting the star called 3154, which is nine times smaller than the Sun.

The impending peak in the activity cycle of the Sun will likely arrive significantly sooner than earlier predicted. As per the analysis carried out by astrophysicists Priyansh Jaswal, Chitradeep Saha, and Dibyendu Nandy at the Center of Excellence in Space Sciences India, the peak in solar activity is likely to hit as early as January 2024.

The Sun is experiencing a sudden surge in activity with a significant rise in the number of sunspots which are sending plumes of hot plasma out into space, the impact of which is expected to be felt by Earth in the form of geomagnetic storms triggered radio blackouts, reported Newsweek citing a NASA model.

The scientists, in a spectacular discovery, have spotted the presence of aurora-like emission in the atmosphere of the Sun. A team of astronomers, headed by Sijie Yu of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, recorded a never-before-seen kind of long-lasting radio emission at an altitude of some 40,000 kilometres (25,000 miles) above the sunspot.

Astrophysics have found evidence which suggests that the sun may be slightly smaller than we think. Well, the new findings are currently under peer review. The report says that the study is based on sound waves generated and trapped inside the sun.

The "Devil Comet" which is hurtling towards Earth and has exploded on its way from the sun has created a lot of buzz about being roughly twice the size of Mount Everest and having cloud horns, which make it appear menacing.

While speeding on an expressway in the cruise control mode, once in a while the driver has to intervene and steer the vehicle on its intended lane. Likewise, when travelling at a speed that measures several thousand kilometres per hour, it is necessary to gently steer a spacecraft to ensure it remains on the ideal path to its destination.

India's Maiden Sun studying mission Aditya-L1 has completed one month of its four month voyage to in Space. The craft has traveled nearly a million kilometres away from the Earth.

As we continue to witness record-breaking heatwaves and other extreme weather events which researchers previously said have been exacerbated by human-induced climate change, several ideas have been pitched to mitigate the dire challenge but this one is out of the world (literally).

After a 14-Earth-day long period of darkness and brutal cold (temperatures around minus 200 degrees Celsius), the Sun has risen over the Lunar south pole, near where India's Chandrayaan-3 lander and rover have remained in sleep mode since September 2.

A star, which is similar to the sun, and is being “repeatedly shredded and consumed” by a black hole around 500m light years away has been spotted by astronomers.

The ambitious first mission to study the Sun has been launched by the Indian Space Research Organization. The Aditya L1 mission was due to launch on Saturday from Sriharikota's Satish Dhawan Space Center and travel for four months to Lagrange Point 1.

Aditya L1 shall be the first space-based Indian mission to study the Sun. The spacecraft shall be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million km from the Earth. A satellite placed in the halo orbit around the L1 point has the major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation/eclipses. This will provide a greater advantage of observing solar activities and their effect on space weather in real-time.
