A spacecraft from the European Space Agency has captured new video of the sun's surface, showing plasma swirling on the star's "otherworldly" surface, according to a news release from the organization ...

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 ...

In the final moments before a total solar eclipse, the temperature drops, birds and insects sing, and the ambient light becomes otherworldly. Daytime morphs into a 360-degree dusk, and where the Sun ...

They say beauty is only skin deep, and apparently so is the Sun’s magnetic field, according to a recent study. The Sun’s magnetic field is shallow, suggests new research, which used computer ...

Solar physicists have revealed the interior structure of the sun's supergranules, a flow structure that transports heat from the sun's hidden interior to its surface. The researchers' analysis of the ...

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 ...

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict space ...
