let loose a solar flare on Thursday, and NASA's sun-observing Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the moment. And now, a pair of freshly released GIFs — technically, one is just a zoomed-in vers ...

The NASA/ESA Solar Orbiter recently recorded the highest-ever concentration of a rare helium isotope (3He) emitted from the Sun. A Southwest Research Institute-led team of scientists sought the source ...

A video captured by the GOES-16 satellite, which is jointly operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

An curved arrow pointing right. NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope can now detect solar flares occuring on the side of the sun it cannot see. This could help scientists better understand solar ...

Extremely active sunspot AR3664 blasted a major X8.7-class solar flare. The sunspot was behind ... Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: NASA / SDO and the AIA, EVE, and HMI science teams ...

Footage of the flare was captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, and the video can be seen in the ESA’s tweet below. This massive X-class flare isn’t the first of its kind to leave ...

Stunning imagery from outer space shows the power of the Sun, with a massive solar flare and coronal mass ejection erupting from the giant star’s surface, but space experts say there is no need ...

Nov. 11, 2024 — Like the Earth, the Sun likely has swirling polar vortices, according to new research. But unlike on Earth, the formation and evolution of these vortices are driven by magnetic ..

The event, wh... NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has revealed a potential breakthrough in predicting solar flares. Scientists observed brightness fluctuations in coronal loops—plasma ...

But this study shows that solar wind can spread energy far beyond those areas, changing the way heat moves through Jupiter’s ...

The research represents a nearly-unprecedented feat of data analysis: From 2020 to 2022, the small army of mostly first- and second-year students examined the physics of more than 600 real solar ...
