The images show ultra-fine bright and dark stripes (called striations) in the thin, gaseous layer of the sun's atmosphere ...

A team of solar physicists has released a new study shedding light on the fine-scale structure of the sun's surface. Using ...

A new adaptive optics system reveals stunning, ultra-sharp views of the Sun’s corona—offering an unprecedented look at solar ...

A computer simulation predicts that the Rubin Observatory will discover millions of previously undetected objects in the ...

The corona, the Sun's outermost layer, stretches millions of kilometres into space and is mysteriously hotter than the underlying photosphere, a phenomenon known as the 'coronal heating problem.' ...

"The new coronal adaptive optics system closes this decades-old gap and delivers images of coronal features at 63 kilometers resolution—the theoretical limit of the 1.6-meter Goode Solar Telescope," ...

An incredibly sharp photo of the Sun has revealed, for the first time, the magnetic "striae" hidden on the solar surface. O ...

Detailed images of the sun's corona have been hampered by turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere. Adaptive optics now make it possible to compensate for this.

Prior to this role, he served as Director of the National Solar Observatory (NSO) in the United States. Martínez Pillet predicts it will take about 50 years for space weather forecasting to reach ...

The University of Colorado Boulder was selected to host the headquarters for the National Solar Observatory, or NSO, the nation's leading scientific research program in ground-based solar astronomy.

Harvey, who said he is proud of the work he and his colleagues have done at the National Solar Observatory, added there remains much that is unknown. "In the 1860s and '70s, people thought the ...
