Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ...

Led by heliophysicist Emily Mason of Predictive Sciences Inc. in San Diego, California, the team studied arch-like structures called coronal loops along the edge of the sun. Coronal loops rise ...

It’s notoriously difficult to predict when the sun will belch out a large solar flare — an explosive burst of radiation that ...

Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...

This ultraviolet image of coronal loops on the Sun was taken using the 335 angström channel of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly telescope on NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. Earth is shown to ...

Researchers have made a potentially crucial breakthrough in solar science that could help predict solar flares with greater ...

Jess Thomson is a Newsweek Science Reporter based in London UK. Her focus is reporting on science, technology and healthcare. She has covered weird animal behavior, space news and the impacts of ...

The four panels in this movie show brightness changes in coronal loops in four different wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light (131, 171, 193, and 304 angstroms) before a solar flare in ...

NASA discovered erratic flickers in coronal loops before solar flares, hinting at an early warning system. This breakthrough ...
