In the early days of Earth, a more active sun showered particles onto our atmosphere, which could have created the building blocks of proteins and organic life.
A geomagnetic storm is a disturbance in Earth's magnetic field, caused by activity on the sun. The current solar cycle number 25 has triggered a few of them.
A hybrid eclipse is a solar eclipse that appears as total for some and annular for others, with those farther from the centerline seeing a partial eclipse.
Solar Cycle 25 is fairly active now, and that means more solar activity. So, what's the difference between a solar flare and a coronal mass ejection (CME)?
A sun pillar, or light pillar, is a shaft of light from the sun or other bright light source, caused by ice crystals under the right atmospheric conditions.
