    The sun may too bright and too powerful for us to look at with the naked eye, even from nearly 92 million miles away on Earth, but a solar orbiter recently got an unprecedented up-close glimpse of ...

    Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from an unprecedented distance of approximately 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of that day's Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System.

  5. Solar irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance

    The two images use the same color scale. Solar irradiance is the power per unit area (surface power density) received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of the measuring instrument. Solar irradiance is measured in watts per square metre (W/m 2) in SI units.

    The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies.

  7. Analemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma

    An analemma can be traced by plotting the position of the Sun as viewed from a fixed position on Earth at the same clock time every day for an entire year, or by plotting a graph of the Sun's declination against the equation of time. The resulting curve resembles a long, slender figure-eight with one lobe much larger than the other.

    Fifty years to the day after taking the photo, William Anders observed, "We set out to explore the moon and instead discovered the Earth." [18] In October 2018, two of the craters seen in the photo were named Anders' Earthrise and 8 Homeward by the Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) of the International Astronomical Union ...

    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 ...
