New calculations explain the Sun’s cool plasma clouds in its hot corona
The Sun’s outermost atmosphere, the corona, seethes at temperatures above one million degrees. Yet draped across it are enormous curtains of plasma roughly a hundred times cooler, dense enough to be ...
Image of the Sun taken from the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, showing the quiet corona and magnetic structures like coronal loops, which trace the intricate patterns of magnetic field lines ...
A high-resolution image of the flare taken by Daniel Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii – NSF/NSO/AURA via SWNS The clearest pictures ever taken of a solar flare have been captured by the world’s ...
Researchers used the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii to take the clearest pictures ever of a powerful solar flare that occurred on Aug. 8, 2024. Credit: NSF / NSO / AURA Astronomers have ...
A record-breakingly sharp image of a solar flare allowed astronomers to get a closer look into the Sun's mysterious coronal loops. Reading time 2 minutes It took astronomers a little over a year to ...
In a study published this past Monday, August 25, 2025, in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of solar scientists revealed that the Inouye Solar Telescope has captured the clearest-ever images ...
“This is the first time the Inouye Solar Telescope has ever observed an X-class flare,” said lead author Cole Tamburri. “These flares are among the most energetic events our star produces, and we were ...
Near the summit of Maui’s Haleakalā, the NSF Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope – and its set of cutting-edge solar instruments, such as the Visible Tunable Filter – is set to pave the way for a deeper ...
