Solar Orbiter has revealed that tiny, hair-like jets in the Sun’s coronal holes are responsible for both fast and slow solar ...

Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ultraviolet light before a solar flare, which could act as an early warning system ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

The spacecraft's Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) is responsible for studying the surface of the Sun, also known as the photosphere. It does that by snapping images as well as measuring ...

The Sun's surface is a highly active region in the Solar System, with fissures opening up regularly that affect us on Earth.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has just released four new, stellar images of the sun, including the highest resolution views to date of its full, visible surface, called the photosphere.

At 8,000 pixels, they're the highest-resolution full views of the sun's visible surface to date and reveal spectacular detail. “If you want to understand the Sun in its entirety, it is essential ...

Mercury takes only 88 Earth days to orbit the sun.

In 2023, the European Space Agency reported on Solar Orbiter's discovery of tiny jets near the sun's south pole that could be powering the solar wind. The team behind this research has now used even ...

which is swooping to within 6.2 million kilometers of the Sun's surface, the closest we've ever been. But what if we wanted an even closer look? Our first stop gets pretty hot. At 7 million to 10 ...

Graphic visualisation of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows a vast 500,000 mile-wide coronal hole in the sun's ...
