Researchers from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) in the UK and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center revealed the highest-ever resolution images of the Sun featuring its outer layer of incredibly fine magnetic threads filled with extremely hot,…
NASA's Parker Solar Probe surprised scientists with its groundbreaking views of the Sun as the first results from the mission were released on Wednesday, December 4, 2019. Scientists observed bursts of energetic particles never seen before on a small scale, and…
A new research shows that eruptions on the Sun’s surface not only send bursts of particles into Earth’s atmosphere, but – contrary to previous belief – also remove electrons across large areas. The new knowledge increases our understanding of solar…
Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has observed high-energy light from solar eruptions located on the Sun's far side, which should block direct light from these events. This apparent paradox is providing solar scientists with a unique tool for exploring how charged…
In a breakthrough study, the astronomers from the University of Hawai'i Institute for Astronomy, Brazil, and Stanford University, discovered a physical mechanism that plays a crucial role in slowing down the outer layers of the Sun. About twenty years ago, the…
