Nasa sun

The elemental composition of the Sun's hot atmosphere known as the 'corona' is strongly linked to the 11-year solar magnetic activity cycle, a team of scientists from UCL, George Mason University and Naval Research Laboratory has revealed for the first time.

On August 31, 2012 a long filament of solar material that had been hovering in the sun's atmosphere, the corona, erupted out into space at 4:36 p.m. EDT. The coronal mass ejection, or CME, traveled at over 900 miles per second. The CME did not travel directly toward Earth, but did connect with Earth's magnetic environment, or magnetosphere, causing aurora to appear on the night of Monday, September 3.

The stars are performing a concert as sound waves travel through them. Telescopes sensitive to stellar vibrations help scientists learn a lot about stars, as well as their planets.

The Sun is the star at the heart of our solar system. Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything – from the biggest planets to the smallest bits of debris – in its orbit.

Real sun 💛

The Sun released an X1 solar flare, captured by our Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) on Oct. 2, 2022.

A small telescope has captured surprising images of "magnetic braids" in the outer atmosphere, or corona, of the sun. The discovery may explain why the corona is hotter than the sun.
