Ancient volcanoes continued to eject carbon dioxide into the atmosphere for millions of years after their eruptions ended, researchers have discovered.
A team of scientists have successfully carried out regular measurements of the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere for the first time – giving us a much better understanding of the magnetic field within this region, known as the solar corona.
The Sun’s magnetic field plays a key role in shaping its atmosphere, with activity such as solar eruptions and the heating of the corona to millions o

Since the 1960s, astronomers have wondered how the Sun’s supersonic “solar wind,” a stream of energetic particles that flows out into the Solar System, continues to receive energy once it leaves the Sun. Now, thanks to a fortunate line up of two spacecraft currently in space studying the Sun, they may have discovered the answer.
Judges at the North East Business Awards have named Professor John Woodward as the Business Person of the Year for Northumberland and Tyneside for his work to develop the new North East Space Skills and Technology Centre at Northumbria University.

Visitors to Newcastle's Life Science Centre can participate in a study to help astronauts on the Artemis Moon exploration program. By applying K-tape to astronauts’ ankles, it is believed balance on the Moon's surface can be improved. Results will be shared with the European Space Agency. Northumbria University is leading space innovation.
Scientists using data from the Solar Orbiter spacecraft have made progress in understanding the origins of the 'slow' solar wind, shedding light on how it forms and leaves the Sun. This research helps explain the variability and complexity of the solar wind, providing new insights into its behavior and composition.
