The largest solar telescope in Europe has released unprecedented close-up images of the sun — and they are a little bit terrifying. GREGOR, a telescope operated by a team of German scientists at the ...

Astrophysicists are mapping a vast, hidden structure in the gas around the Sun that behaves like a tunnel carved through ...

How does the Sun’s interior function and produce the energy needed to allow life to exist on the Earth? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of ...

Fine grained structures have been detected in the sun’s outer corona. In a paper published on July 18 in The Astrophysical Journal, a team of scientists led by Craig DeForest — solar physicist at ...

The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

Scientists used image processing on high-resolution images of the Sun to reveal distinct "plumelets" within structures on the Sun called solar plumes. The full-disk Sun and the left side of the inset ...

The Sun has never looked quite like this. With a quartet of small satellites flying in formation, NASA’s PUNCH mission is ...

The closer scientists zoom in on our sun, the more details they see. The sun, like all stars, is a roiling mass of superhot charged particles called plasma. But it's not the most conducive to close ...

The Sun has just unleashed an M5-class solar flare, a powerful burst of radiation that signals a clear uptick in solar activity as the current cycle heads toward its peak. While this event is not the ...

Scientists have combined NASA data and cutting-edge image processing to gain new insight into the solar structures that create the Sun’s flow of high-speed solar wind, detailed in new research ...

Scientists have combined NASA data and cutting-edge image processing to gain new insight into the solar structures that create the Sun's flow of high-speed solar wind. This first look at relatively ...
