From March 20-23, 2018, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured three sequences of our Sun in three different extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. The resulting images illustrate how…
The more solar observatories, the merrier: Scientists have developed new models to see how shocks associated with coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, propagate from the…
A dramatic magnetic power struggle at the Sun’s surface lies at the heart of solar eruptions, new research using NASA data shows. The work highlights…
On Sunday, February 11, 2018, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, saw a total solar eclipse in space when Earth crossed its view of the…
When our Sun erupts with giant explosions — such as bursts of radiation called solar flares — we know they can affect space throughout the…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) came across an oddity that the spacecraft has rarely observed before: a dark filament encircling an active region (October 29-31,…
This sequence of images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the Sun from its surface to its upper atmosphere all taken at about the same…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a new image of a lunar transit when the Moon crossed the spacecraft’s view of the Sun. On October 19,…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of a mid-level solar flare emitted from the sun on September 4th. The sun emitted a mid-level solar…
For the first time, researchers reconstruct and detail the two phenomena that are responsible for the fluctuation of brightness in our sun. The Sun shines…
A team of astronomers watch as a failed solar eruption occurs on the surface of the Sun, leaving astronomers with a wealth of data captured…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) watched an active region — an area of intense and complex magnetic fields — rotate into view on the Sun…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory observes a sunspot that is the first to appear after the sun was spotless for two days. The dark core of…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) saw a partial solar eclipse in space when it caught the moon passing in front of the sun on May…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the new images of the three solar flares. The sun emitted a trio of mid-level solar flares on April 2-3,…
For a 15 day stretch beginning on March 7, 2017, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory returned visible light images of a yolk-like spotless sun. This is…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory experienced a partial solar eclipse in space when it caught the moon passing in front of the sun. The moon’s shadow…
