NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of coronal loops above an active region on the sun in mid-January 2012. The image was taken in the 171 angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet ...

The sun is an incomprehensibly gigantic, constantly roiling nuclear furnace—but some days are even busier than others. Based ...

Watch this one-week time-lapse of the coronal hole in the Sun's atmosphere from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. Amazing ...

Two strong solar flares erupted from the sun within 12 hours of each other, according to information from NASA's Solar ...

More than a month after a flooded data center at Stanford University knocked out data processing operations for two NASA sun-studying spacecraft, solar scientists are starting to regain access to ...

The $850 million Solar Dynamics Observatory may help scientists find the causes of solar weather events that disrupt technologies on Earth—while taking unprecedented high-resolution pictures of the ...

Talk about a heated situation. The sun unleashed two colossal solar flares within seven hours of each other this week, triggering radio blackouts across parts of Earth. Solar flares are strong, ...

A solar eclipse on April 27, 2025, as seen only by NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory. When is the next solar eclipse? Yesterday and today — but they were not reported in advance. Why? They were only in ...

An artificial intelligence model trained on NASA satellite imagery can forecast what the sun will look like hours into the future – even predicting the appearance of solar flares that may warn of ...

On June 14 and 16, technicians installed solar panels onto NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, one of the final steps in assembling the observatory. Collectively called the Solar Array Sun ...

For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares — intense bursts of light on the Sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now, using NASA’s ...
