A team of researchers at Nagoya University has used Japan’s most powerful supercomputer to show that Sun-like stars likely keep the same internal spin pattern for their entire lives, a finding that ...

The Sun’s differential rotation pattern has puzzled scientists for decades: while the poles rotate with a period of approximately 34 days, mid-latitudes rotate faster and the equatorial region ...

Our grasp of how stars rotate is "insufficient," with implications on our ability to understand the causes of phenomena on the sun like solar flares and coronal mass ejections that cause aurora and ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved ...

For nearly half a century, astronomers have believed that stars like our sun eventually change the way they rotate. The theory suggested that when such stars grow old and slow down, their rotation ...

Strong magnetic fields keep the equator spinning faster than the poles and prevent a rotation flip, even as stars slow down with age. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have ...

Astronomers from the University of Helsinki have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis, differs considerably from that of the Sun. The observation provides insights into ...

The Sun turns, but not in the way a solid object would. It has no hard surface, no fixed edge to follow. What scientists describe as solar rotation comes from watching patterns move across a glowing, ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
