A "cannibal" coronal mass ejection (CME) birthed from a rare type of sunspot will slam into Earth tonight (June 4), likely bringing auroras to skies above 23 U.S. states. The solar outburst began on ...

A solar flare eruption showing magnetic reconnection on the Sun’s surface, releasing intense energy as electromagnetic radiation and driving coronal mass ejections, key drivers of space weather. A ...

Everything about photographing the sun is extreme. With a vast illumination 400,000 times brighter than the moon, the sun can be captured in detail only by using extremely specialized—and very ...

Why do some eruptions from the Sun blast into space while others never make it? Join us for SETI Live on August 20 at 2:30 pm PDT, when SETI Institute heliophysicist Dr. Becca Robinson talks with Dr.
