A massive solar storm erupted from the sun today, creating a huge tendril of plasma that stretched across the face of the star. The giant solar eruption created a long filament of magnetic plasma, ...

A massive filament eruption on the sun carved out a ~250,000-mile-long (~400,000 km) 'canyon of fire'. See time-lapsed ...

A massive solar filament erupted today (May 7), producing a stunning display that spanned the sun's eastern limb and reached deep into the solar disk. "The sun is doing just enough to show that it ...

A couple of days ago, NASA’s solar dynamics observatory captured this spectacular video of a filament of gas arcing in the sun’s magnetic fields. This image shows what the event looked like in extreme ...

Isotope ratios found in meteorites suggest that a supernova exploded nearby while the Sun and Solar System were still forming. But the blast wave from a supernova that close could have potentially ...

Solar winds from the snapping of a gigantic "canyon of fire" filament on the sun are set to slam into the Earth today (July 20) or tomorrow (July 21), triggering a weak G1 geomagnetic storm. 'Cannibal ...

This image (above) from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows a very long, whip-like solar filament extending over half a million miles in a long arc above the sun’s surface. Filaments are ...

A novel solar filament detection method based on an improved DeepLab V3+ is proposed to address the low detection accuracy of small solar filaments in Hα full-disk solar images. First, the Xception ...

On August 31, the Sun threw a major tantrum. It started with a vast arc of material towering over its surface, a stream of plasma flowing between two sunspots. Sometimes these collapse back down to ...
