The Borexino detector, a hyper-sensitive instrument deep underground in Italy, has finally succeeded at the nearly impossible task of detecting CNO neutrinos from our sun’s…
New research shows that sunspots and other active regions can change the overall solar emissions. The sunspots cause some emissions to dim and others to…
