A powerful X9-class solar flare has offered scientists one of the clearest glimpses yet into the moments leading up to an ...

A Montana State University physicist who has developed a new model that predicts the speed of solar plasma during solar flares, likening it to the path traveled by a thrown baseball, will present his ...

A stunning video of plasma rain on the surface of the sun shared by NASA is sure to take your breath away. The video has been captured by premiere US space agency NASA’s Interface Region Imaging ...

Combining computer observations and simulations, a new model shows that the presence of neutrals in the gas facilitates the magnetic fields to penetrate through the surface of the Sun producing the ...

Just above the Sun’s surface lie twisting tornadoes that accelerate plasma to speeds of over 62,000 mph (100,000 km/hr). New findings by Lockheed Martin scientists show these motions are not only more ...

This news release is available in Japanese. Sunspots are planet-sized conglomerates of bundles of intense magnetic field lines on the surface of the Sun. They are known to cause explosions (solar ...

The sun’s surface is blisteringly hot at 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit — but its atmosphere is another 300 times hotter. This has led to an enduring mystery for those who study the sun: What heats the ...
