LASCO is a coronagraph that has a disk to occult the sun's disk, thereby allowing it to image the corona — the sun's outer atmosphere — including any objects that come close to it. Typically ...

NRL's Compact Coronagraph on NOAA's GOES-19 spacecraft has started capturing crucial images of the Sun's atmosphere and solar phenomena, aiding in the prediction of space weather effects on Earth. The ...

Some of these flares can be accompanied by coronal mass ejections, or clouds of plasma and charged particles, that emerge from the sun's outermost atmosphere, the corona. These ejections can ...

While the sun's surface temperature measures around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, its outer atmosphere, known as the solar corona, measures more like 2 million degrees Fahrenheit, about 200 times hotter.

Oct. 15, 2024 — Experts have announced that the Sun has reached its solar maximum period, which could continue for the next year. Scientists will not be able to determine the exact peak of this ...
