Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, ...
"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...
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 ...
Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...
Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.
ESA's Solar Orbiter captured views of the planet Mercury passing in front of the Sun. Multiple instruments aboard the ...
Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...
ESA’s Solar Orbiter discovered cascading magnetic avalanches on the Sun, triggering powerful solar flares and particle storms ...
NASA hasn't received data from MAVEN since December 6, 2025.
A European Space Agency spacecraft has captured the most detailed account ever of a solar flare igniting in real time, and it ...
F or all of its life-sustaining energy, the sun is pretty chaotic. Roiling plasma covers its surface along with fluidic snarls of magnetic fields that birth solar flares. These fiery outbursts occur ...
