Researchers have made a potentially crucial breakthrough in solar science that could help predict solar flares with greater ...

Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...

It’s notoriously difficult to predict when the sun will belch out a large solar flare — an explosive burst of radiation that ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." ...

Graphic visualisation of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows a vast 500,000 mile-wide coronal hole in the sun's ...

“In a world that is now so dependent on electricity and electronics, a similar event has the potential to cause widespread disruptions and damage to the electronics aboard Earth-orbiting satellites, ...

Image source: Instagram NASA's Instagram account ... In the picture, the bird's large brown eyes appear to look directly at the camera, giving an almost eye-to-eye contact with the viewer.

As the sun geared up to spit a powerful solar flare into space, NASA scientists snapped huge loops of plasma leaping from the sun's surface. These spectacular solar structures, known as coronal ...

“The results are really important for understanding flares and may improve our ability to predict dangerous space weather.” NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as ...

Now, using NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, one team has identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere (corona) that seem to signal when the sun is about to unleash a large flare.
