Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

Solar physicists have long known that the sun stores staggering amounts of magnetic energy, but the exact trigger that lets ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...

ESA's Solar Orbiter, along with NASA's spacecraft, aids researchers in getting insights about NOAA 13664, the sun's active region.

“This is the longest continuous series of images ever created for a single active region: It’s a milestone in solar physics,” ...

An international team of researchers tracked the active solar region using the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint NASA and European Space Agency mission that orbits the Sun on an elliptical path to ...

By combining observations from two space missions, scientists were able to follow one exceptionally active region on the Sun ...

Scientists have pulled back the curtain on one of the most extreme solar regions seen in decades, tracking it almost nonstop ...

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter made its first close pass of the sun on Monday, getting as close as 48 million miles from the sun's surface. The spacecraft's first perihelion, the point in ...
