The goal of the LWS program is to develop the scientific understanding necessary to effectively address those aspects of the connected Sun–Earth system directly affecting life on Earth and its society. The goal of the SDO is to understand the influence of the Sun on the Earth and near-Earth space by studying the solar atmosphere on small ...
Astronauts take hundreds of stunning photos from the International Space Station.. This year's best snapshots reveal both Earth and space in glorious detail. Check out astronauts' views of ...
The DKIST can observe the Sun in visible to near-infrared wavelengths and has a 4.24-meter primary mirror in an off-axis Gregorian configuration that provides a 4-meter clear, unobstructed aperture. Adaptive optics correct for atmospheric distortions and blurring of the solar image, which enables high-resolution observations of features on the ...
From the original Blue Marble photo shot back in 1972 to the new high-definition Blue Marble images to a screen shot of the very first video image of Earth taken by a weather satellite in 1960, ...
Features as small as 30km (18 miles) in size are observable for the first time. The image shows a pattern of turbulence of solar plasma, a super-heated gas. The cell-like structures, each about the size of Texas (approximately 700'000km 2), are the signature of a dynamic activity of heat from the inside of the sun to its surface. The solar ...
This year, Earth will be furthest from the sun on July 4. That moment, called aphelion, will occur when the distance between the two celestial bodies stretches to more than 94.5 million miles.
