The images show ultra-fine bright and dark stripes (called striations) in the thin, gaseous layer of the sun's atmosphere ...

A team of solar physicists has released a new study shedding light on the fine-scale structure of the sun's surface. Using ...

A new adaptive optics system reveals stunning, ultra-sharp views of the Sun’s corona—offering an unprecedented look at solar ...

The stripes, called striations, ripple across the walls of solar granules—convection cells in the Sun’s photosphere where hot ...

A computer simulation predicts that the Rubin Observatory will discover millions of previously undetected objects in the ...

Astronomers have captured videos of the sun without the typical blur caused by turbulence in Earth's atmosphere ...

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.' ...

The Sun’s magnetic field is stronger than Earth’s own, and in certain variable regions it can be thousands of times stronger.

"The new coronal adaptive optics system closes this decades-old gap and delivers images of coronal features at 63 kilometers resolution—the theoretical limit of the 1.6-meter Goode Solar Telescope," ...

An incredibly sharp photo of the Sun has revealed, for the first time, the magnetic "striae" hidden on the solar surface. O ...

Detailed images of the sun's corona have been hampered by turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere. Adaptive optics now make it possible to compensate for this.
