A recent study has uncovered discrepancies between simulated predictions and actual observations of solar flare dynamics, ...

Hear from the eclipse chasers who travel anywhere to witness unique solar events, forming a global community. Last week it was Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean.

Oct. 2's annular solar eclipse saw a small-looking new moon cross the face of the sun to create a perfect circle for about ...

NSF’s Inouye Solar Telescope is a 4-meter solar telescope located on Maui, Hawai’i. Here, it sits atop Haleakalā, high above the clouds, with the perfect coronal skies visible in the background.

Its light can disappear altogether during a solar eclipse and it hurls twisty and tangled solar flares and coronal mass ejections full of plasma at us. Despite our cosmic connection with the sun ...

This detailed new study or finding will help astronomers a better understanding of solar activity and its potential impact on Earth. The astronomers have mapped how the Sun’s outer layer called the ...

Using 100 years of daily solar observations from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory, the team revealed new insights into the Sun’s chromosphere—a layer above the Sun's visible surface. This work ...

Using 100 years of daily records of the Sun at the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory, astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), an autonomous institute of DST, have succeeded in ...

Astronomers from the IIA used solar plages -- a bright region in the Sun's chromosphere -- and networks from daily records of the Sun stretching over 100 years, maintained by the 125-year-old ...

Indian astronomers have mapped the variation in the rotation speed of the Sun’s chromosphere from the equator to the poles using 100 years of data from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory.

Our editors also may be in touch with follow-up questions. Making the switch to solar is a big decision, but ION Solar makes it easier. This full-service solar company offers a streamlined ...

Calcium-K spectroheliogram of the Sun, captured at the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory on April 11, 1936. The image highlights the chromosphere, showcasing plages (bright regions) and networks (web ...
