Images from NRL's LASCO C3 coronagraph showing the "halo" coronal mass ejection that caused the G4 geomagnetic storm on May 31, 2025. NRL's LASCO instrument has been operating in space since 1996 ...

Another powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted off the sun Friday. ... It's carried by the solar wind and travels up to speeds of 155 to 1800 miles per second.

The world's biggest solar telescope has captured the stunning details of the Sun's surface, showing sunspots and intense magnetic activity. The newly released image comes as the Sun moves towards ...

The National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye telescope debuted a close-up of the sun captured by its new, ultra-powerful imaging tool. Here’s what you can see.

Geomagnetic storms are set to buffet the Earth tonight, potentially creating the breathtaking Norther Lights over parts of the U.S. A pair of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are expected to hit ...

Beneath that is 1,800 miles of mostly solid mantle, then another 1,400 miles of molten outer core, and finally, ... That said, it isn’t a perfect shield. Sometimes the sun emits large bursts of ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is expected to make history by flying into the sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona, on a mission to help scientists learn more about Earth’s closest star.

On Christmas Eve, the shield likely faced temperatures up to 1,800 F (980 degrees C), ... When the energized particles from coronal mass ejections reach Earth’s magnetic field, ...

On Christmas Eve, the shield likely faced temperatures up to 1,800 F (980 degrees C), ... when coronal mass ejections released by the sun were directed at our planet.

Parker Solar Probe travelled dramatically through a coronal mass ejection (CME), ... Its heat shield will reach temperatures up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (982.2 degrees Celsius), ...

We'll also report on relevant solar activity and significant space weather events such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and coronal holes which could bring strong aurora-sparking solar winds our way.
