During a close approach to the Sun, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter watched that tipping point unfold in unusually ...

Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, ...

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

A massive solar filament erupted today (May 7), producing a stunning display that spanned the sun's eastern limb and reached deep into the solar disk. "The sun is doing just enough to show that it ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

Every two seconds, the camera on board Solar Orbiter is able to freeze the corona on another frame, and in this rare data set, it has captured the early, quiet failures that can build into a major ...

A couple of days ago, NASA’s solar dynamics observatory captured this spectacular video of a filament of gas arcing in the sun’s magnetic fields. This image shows what the event looked like in extreme ...

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

A plume of "dark plasma" is heading toward Earth after being burped out by the sun. This coronal mass ejection (CME) was flung out from a long magnetic filament on the sun's surface and is set to ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...
