The European Space Agency released four stunning images last week that show the sun in all its fiery glory. The images, obtained in March 2023 by the ESA's Solar Orbiter, represent what the agency ...
Given Solar Orbiter’s proximity to the sun, the spacecraft had to be rotated after each image to capture every part of the sun’s face. As a result, each image is the result of a mosaic of 25 ...

This isn’t the first time the Solar Dynamics Observatory has captured an interesting image of the sun. In 2016, NASA released an animation of the sun doing a somersault. The capture was the ...
The detailed images recorded by SDO in 2011–2012 have helped scientists uncover new secrets about the Sun. The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a NASA mission which has been observing the Sun since 2010. [4]
Image of the Sun's cell-like surface structures. The visible surface of the Sun, the photosphere, is the layer below which the Sun becomes opaque to visible light. [77] Photons produced in this layer escape the Sun through the transparent solar atmosphere above it and become solar radiation, sunlight.
The Solar Orbiter (SolO) [7] is a Sun-observing probe developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) with a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contribution. Solar Orbiter, designed to obtain detailed measurements of the inner heliosphere and the nascent solar wind , will also perform close observations of the polar regions of ...
NASA recently released an illustration of the sun?s magnetic field placed over an image taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
