Scientists have developed a new technique to map the magnetic polarity of active regions on the Sun’s far side, a breakthrough that could improve space weather forecasts. The advance comes as NOAA ...

Prominences are cool plasma structures extending several thousand kilometers in the Sun’s hot corona. Some persist for weeks.

At more than one million degrees, the sun's atmosphere—the corona—is incredibly hot; but not everywhere. Time and again, huge ...

Diagram of the Sun’s interior and outer atmosphere, showing the core, radiative and convection zones — separated by the tachocline — and surface features such as sunspots, flares, the chromosphere and ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped the magnetic polarity of active regions on the Sun’s far side without direct observation, using helioseismology to interpret sound waves traveling through ...
