The images could provide heliophysicists with new clues to help unlock the secrets of the sun like never before. The images, taken on March 22, 2023, and released Wednesday, showcase different ...
A European spacecraft is showing us how dynamic the Sun is with newly released images, the highest-resolution images of our star's surface so far.
The European Space Agency has just released a trove of new images and videos collected by Solar Orbiter, its mission to closely observe the sun and increase our understanding of its atmosphere ...
Relationship of the atmosphere and ionosphere. The ionosphere (/ aɪ ˈ ɒ n ə ˌ s f ɪər /) [1] [2] is the ionized part of the upper atmosphere of Earth, from about 48 km (30 mi) to 965 km (600 mi) above sea level, [3] a region that includes the thermosphere and parts of the mesosphere and exosphere. The ionosphere is ionized by solar ...
Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a planned joint venture mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.SMILE will image for the first time the magnetosphere of the Sun in soft X-rays and UV during up to 40 hours per orbit, improving the understanding of the dynamic interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere.
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] Launched on 11 February 2010, the observatory is part of the Living With a Star (LWS) program.

A new solar telescope in Hawaii has released a series of images of the sun that peer inside the depths of its sunspots and so-called "quiet regions." The sun may be close to 94 million miles away ...
The density of the corona generally decreases with distance from the Sun, which causes radio waves to refract toward the radial direction. [44] [45] When solar radio emission enters Earth's ionosphere, refraction may also severely distort the source's apparent location depending on the viewing angle and ionospheric conditions. [46]
