In February 2011, the twin spacecraft took up their positions on directly opposite sides of the sun and began to send uninterrupted images of the star back to Earth, providing the first views of the entire sun. Our nearest star rotates about once every 27 days, but solar activity changes o...
The six satellites that make up NASA’s SunRISE mission are each only about the size of a cereal box, flanked by small solar panels. This fleet of six SmallSats will work together to effectively create a much larger radio antenna in space. Credit: Space Dynamics Laboratory/Allison Bills Mon...
A NASA mission to touch the sun has revealed answers about the closest star's solar winds, which cause the aurora borealis and can affect Earth's communications systems. The Parker Solar Probe has captured information about the solar wind that flows from the sun's coronal holes toward's our ...
The vehicle is the Parker Solar Probe, and it's destined to get within 4 million miles of our parent star, which is closer than any other human-made artifact has reached before. From this vantage point, the probe is poised to solve mysteries about the Sun and its atmosphere that have ...
27, helps provide scientists with information about the particle sizes within the clouds. Both photos, NASA said, were captured as panoramas, "each of which was stitched together from 28 images sent to Earth." The images "have been processed to emphasize the highlights," the agency said. ...

【导读】美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的太阳动力学天文台(SDO)为庆祝其在太空的第 10 年,发布了一个令人着迷的太阳延时拍摄视频,该视频使用十年来每小时连续拍摄的恒星图像,将整个太阳周期浓缩为一个小时的镜头。 在过去十年中,NASA 一直关注着太阳,研究太阳如何产生太阳活动并驱动太空天气——太空中影响整个太阳系(包...
SunSketcher will help the American space agency learn more about the shape of the sun, which, it notes, is not perfectly round. “Knowing precisely how the sun’s shape deviates from a sphere can teach us about its interior and test theories of gravity,” the agencysaid. ...
