Images released by NASA, showcasing a giant butterfly-shaped hole on the sun, have sparked a wave of online interest. The ...

You've heard the Soundgarden song, but how about a real Black Hole Sun collision? Most black holes are the remnants of massive stars. Would our Sun survive the collision, or could a black hole make ...

"We show that isolated perturbations near the sun's surface, far from the deeper layers, can grow over time to potentially produce the magnetic structures we see." When you purchase through links on ...

Scientists said the sun erupted Tuesday morning, unleashing a strong X5.1-class flare in an intense outburst, causing ...

A massive coronal hole has formed in the sun's atmosphere, unleashing a powerful stream of solar wind toward Earth. Nearby, a second, slightly smaller coronal hole is also directing solar wind our way ...

Such regions are known by scientists as coronal holes. They are areas where the Sun's magnetic fields have opened up, allowing solar wind to escape freely into space. Coronal holes, which are most ...

A massive hole some 62 times wider than the Earth has opened up in the Sun's atmosphere—and it could lead to aurora over the U.S. NASA captured a photograph of the roughly 497,000-mile-wide phenomenon ...

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, captured this solar image on March 16, 2015, which clearly shows two dark patches, known as coronal holes. The larger coronal hole of the two, near the ...

A long coronal hole can be seen right down the middle of the sun in this video captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory on March 23-25, 2016. Coronal holes are areas on the sun where the solar ...
