The Sun is a powerful star. As the center of our solar system, it’s hard to ignore the massive ball of energy responsible for delivering light and heat to our planet. To showcase thetrue power of the Sun, though, NASA recently shared a new solar flare image that captures a flare see...
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....
Tsunamis this large don't happen on Earth. During 2006, a large solar flare from an Earth-sized sunspot produced a tsunami-type shock wave that was spectacular even for the Sun. Pictured here, the tsunami wave was captured moving out from active region AR 10930 by the Optical Solar Patrol ...
Taken just last week, the Sun was captured sporting numerous interesting features including one of the larger sunspot groups yet recorded: AR 1339 visible on the image right. Only last year, the Sun was emerging from an unusually quiet Solar Minimum that lasted for years. The above image was...

Photo Illustration/NASA The Parker Solar Probe will soon be the closest any human-made object has ever gotten to the sun. The probe, engineered to study the corona -- the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, launched in August 2018 and has been gradually orbiting closer to the sun's...
which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer – the corona. Compiling one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in activity that occurs as part of the Sun’s 11-year...
NASA has released the first image from inside the sun’s atmosphere and it is ground-breaking. The photo was taken by the Parker Solar Probe, which is fitted with Israeli-engineered sensors that are helping capture these first-ever high-resolution images. ...
