The Sun has hurled the most intense burst of radiation at Earth in more than two decades, a reminder that our star can flip ...

Solar physicists have long known that the sun stores staggering amounts of magnetic energy, but the exact trigger that lets ...

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

Scientists have captured an exceptionally rare, high-resolution view of an active region that produced two powerful X-class solar flares—an achievement rarely possible from Earth. Using the GREGOR ...

Incredible new images of the sun's surface provide an unprecedented view of raging sunspots and solar activity. A new high-resolution camera system developed by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics ...

F or all of its life-sustaining energy, the sun is pretty chaotic. Roiling plasma covers its surface along with fluidic snarls of magnetic fields that birth solar flares. These fiery outbursts occur ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...
