Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, ...

A giant solar flare on our sun was powered by an avalanche of smaller magnetic disturbances, providing the clearest insight yet into how energy from our star is released in a torrent of high-energy ...

ESA’s Proba-3 mission enables long-duration artificial solar eclipses in space, allowing continuous observation of the Sun’s ...

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

A European Space Agency spacecraft has captured the most detailed account ever of a solar flare igniting in real time, and it ...

The ESA's Solar Orbiter has discovered that solar flares act like avalanches, growing from weak disturbances into powerful ...

When the six tiny spacecraft of NASA’s SunRISE (Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment) mission settle into their orbits high above Earth after launching later this year, they’ll function as one ...

ESA's Proba-3 mission, made up of twin spacecraft capable of aligning to create artificial eclipses, has captured "rare" footage of three solar prominences erupting from the sun's mysteriously hot ...

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 captured views of the planet Mercury passing in front of the Sun. Multiple instruments aboard the ...

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 ...
