Astronomers have produced the first continuous, two-dimensional maps of the outer edge of the sun's atmosphere, a shifting, ...

Learn what the first maps of the sun's atmospheric boundary reveal about solar wind and its escape into space.

New images of the sun captured by the Solar Orbiter mission showcase the highest-resolution views of our star’s visible surface ever seen, revealing sunspots and continuously moving charged gas called ...

Astronomers have mapped the turbulent edge of the Sun where solar matter manages to escape the Sun's fierce magnetic grip.

The sun may too bright and too powerful for us to look at with the naked eye, even from nearly 92 million miles away on Earth, but a solar orbiter recently got an unprecedented up-close glimpse of the ...

It’s the dawn of a new day in terms of our conception of the Sun, as physicists have just unleashed a new, state-of-the-art solar observatory on the island of Maui in Hawaii, the likes of which have ...

Looking at the sun through a telescope can cause serious damage to your health and vision, so how exactly are we meant to get pictures of the Sun's surface if we can't even look at it? Well, that's ...

The world's largest solar telescope has given the world a glimpse at the most intricate details of the sun's surface. The National Science Foundation released the highest resolution image of the sun's ...
