The sun’s outer atmosphere resembles a pufferfish.

Using the combined might of spacecraft scattered across the Solar System, scientists have built the most detailed map yet of the boundary where the Sun's magnetic push no longer accelerates the solar ...

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 ...

Astronomers have produced the first continuous, two-dimensional maps of the outer edge of the sun's atmosphere, a shifting, frothy boundary that marks where solar winds escape the sun's magnetic grasp ...

A new study maps the infall of protons and electrons from the solar wind to geographical location on the surface of Mercury, giving scientists new insight into how interactions with the Sun alters the ...

Astronomers created the first continuous, two-dimensional (2D) maps of the outer edge of the Sun’s atmosphere. The image highlighted the frothy boundary where solar winds escaped the Sun’s magnetic ...

(CNN) — 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 ...

The sun's outer atmosphere has recently been likened to a pufferfish, revealing fascinating new insights into our solar system. This unique comparison stems from the first verified maps of the Alfvén ...

A European spacecraft is showing us how dynamic the Sun is with newly released images, the highest-resolution images of our star's surface so far. The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter observes ...
