Scientists reveal the clearest images of the Sun’s corona using a new adaptive optics system, opening new paths for solar ...
Solar scientists have unveiled spectacular new images of plasma "rain" in the sun's corona using adaptive optics.
The corona, the Sun's outermost layer, stretches millions of kilometres into space and is mysteriously hotter than the underlying photosphere, a phenomenon known as the 'coronal heating problem.' ...
Since the corona is dimmer than the Sun's surface, it's challenging to observe. It's visible during total solar eclipses when ...
Ultr-detailed images reveal fine plasma structures in the sun’s corona Scientists observe a high-speed plasma ‘plasmoid’ ...
New images that are the highest resolution ever taken of the surface of the sun and its corona are revealing details that ...
Scientists captured the highest-resolution images of the sun’s corona to date. The plasma is artificially colorized in the image, with darker pink colors corresponding to brighter light.
The Sun's corona, a faint, glowing halo of plasma, is notoriously difficult to observe due to its dimness compared to the ...
The team used the Goode Solar Telescope at Big Bear Observatory to capture fine details of the solar corona. This is the ...
Scientists have identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun. These definitive observations were made by instruments aboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which detected the powerful ...
