article (NASA) OUTER SPACE - NASA is sharing a photo of the Sun looking like a jack-o-lantern. The photo was taken in 2014 and shows "active regions" on the Sun creating the spooky face. The image was taken in ultraviolet light by the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite....
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash on the right side of this image of the Sun – on January 20. The image from SDO’s Atmospheric Imaging Assembly 131 Ångström channel (colorized in teal) shows a subset of extreme...
The photo was taken on February 6, NASA says, and is the first time that the sun rays, also known as crepuscular rays, have been viewed so clearly. The Curiosity Rover shared the image to itsTwitter pageand it was taken as part of the rover’s twilight cloud survey. The image was...
so we had to make estimates of when the storm would arrive," said one of STEREO's principal investigators Russell Howard of the Naval Research Laboratory. "These estimates were uncertain by a day or so. With STEREO, we can track the front from the Sun all the way to Earth, and...
Thankfully, this isn’t themost powerful solar flarethe Sun has released this year or even in the past five years. But, it was still very powerful, and the image of the solar flare that NASA captured is absolutely breathtaking.
Among them is an image of Mars, taken 61 million miles from Earth. "Thin water-ice clouds, revealed by Hubble's unique ultraviolet capability, give the Red Planet a frosty appearance," Hubble said along with the photo on social media. In a news release commemorating Hubble's decades around...
One 'active region' on the Sun, named AR2975, has been attracting attention. AR 2975 and AR 2976 stand out on the surface of the Sun, in this image captured on March 30, 2022, by the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Credit: NASA This tangle of magnetic fields and solar plasma ha...

As you can see from the image, some of those streams of energy blast far into space, creating solar winds and other space weather, while others rise from the sun's surface, spin around and fall back down again in closed loops. These returning loops of magnetic energy can further stir the...
