SUN

For two years sunspots nearly disappeared. Now a team of researchers may have found where they went.

NASA explained the mystery behind the decreased solar activity during the Sun's 11-year cycle, linking it to the changing speeds of plasma inside the Sun.

NASA said it has rescheduled a media teleconference to Wednesday 2 p.m. EST to discuss the first computer model that explains the recent period of decreased solar activity during the Sun's 11-year cycle.

Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) could be an attractive acquisition target for companies, including Broadcom Corp. and Oracle.

Here's a gorgeous 16- second view of the waving flames off the Sun's surface, with exquisite details.

South African gaming and hotels group Sun International Ltd reported a flat first-half profit, hit by unfavourable swings in currencies and warned of little growth for the remainder of the year.

A Chinese state company has tapped Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd and Guoco Group Ltd as potential investors for a fund that aims to raise up to 20 billion yuan ($3.1 billion) to develop Shanghai's Bund district, a source said on Thursday.

Scientists have detected massive waves, known as 'sausage waves', in giant magnetic holes on the surface of the Sun, bringing a step closer to unveiling the secrets of the Sun.

A video made by compiling several images from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the powerful flares that erupted earlier this week.

The strongest solar flares seen in several years are sending a mass of charged particles towards the Earth, which could cause radio interference and auroral displays.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory has picked up the most powerful solar flare of the current solar cycle, which could cause spectacular auroras on Earth.

This year Valentine's Day is so special as NASA's Stardust spacecraft is preparing for final date with comet Tempel 1 on its second exploration. The world will be beginning to look at images when the spacecraft is on its closest approach to fly by comet Tempel 1 at about 11:37 pm EST on Monday, with confirmation likely to be received on Earth at about 11:56 pm EST.

Japanese scientists have spotted two huge holes on the sun's magnetic field, and it has been observed that the holes look darker than other parts of the sun.

Social network giant, Facebook, has confirmed its plans on Tuesday to move its headquarters to Sun Microsystems' former campus in Menlo Park, California.

Facebook will relocate its corporate headquarters to Menlo Park, California, starting this summer, the fast-growing social networking company's second move in less than two years.

NASA released the first ever 360 degree image of the sun in a video over the weekend and says it could help with weather forecasts.

NASA will on Sunday release online the first complete view of the sun's entire surface and atmosphere. The all-new visuals set to be released today at 11 am EST have been generated by NASA’s two Solar TErrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft.

The media reports on the 13th zodiac sign, Ophiuchus, and the change in astronomy, horoscope and zodiac calender sent thousands into an astrological identity crisis. However, the real meaning seems to have been lost in translation.

The new sign Ophiuchus will cover those born between Nov. 29 and Dec. 17 while Sagittarius will move into the 13th position covering from Dec. 17 to Jan. 20.

A dark coronal hole at the Sun center was captured in extreme ultraviolet light by NASA's solar dynamics observatory. As the Sun continues to rotate, the high speed solar wind particles blowing from this hole will likely reach Earth in a few days and may spark some auroral activity.

A team of scientists at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have found that the moon has a core similar to Earth's.
