Sunspots and solar flares created by the sun’s magnetism can affect the Earth’s surface

Hale’s discovery of solar magnetism about 50 years after the Carrington event, along with records showing that auroras had an 11-year cycle similar to that of the sun, formed the basis of our modern understanding of the 'solar-terrestrial relationship.'

Two black holes are giving the cosmos a fright

Black holes are the bottomless pits of gravity decreed by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity more than a century ago. Astronomers now know that there are millions of them just in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, the gravestones of stars that imploded and collapsed beyond limit.

Webb telescope reveals rapid growth of primordial black hole

Black holes are extremely dense objects with gravity so strong that not even light can escape. With their immense gravitational pull, they grow in mass by sucking in material such as gas, dust and stars unfortunate enough to stray nearby.
