Now, using NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, one team has identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere (corona) that seem to signal when the sun is about to unleash a large flare.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of coronal loops above an active region on the Sun in mid-January 2012. The image was taken in the 171 angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet ...
More than a month after a flooded data center at Stanford University knocked out data processing operations for two NASA sun-studying ... near-real-time [Solar Dynamics Observatory] data products ...
The ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has officially discovered 5000 comets. Comet number 5000 was spotted in SOHO images on March 25, 2024. Full Story: <a href=" Credit: NASA's ...
Improving Space Weather Predictions Flickering patterns in coronal loops may signal solar flares 2 to 6 hours before they happen. The team suggests this method is more accurate than previous ...
Operations have resumed at the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) following the flood at its data center in late 2024. In a January 7 update from the Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC) at ...
(Image credit: NASA/Solar Dynamics Observatory) Shining loops of plasma on the surface of the sun "flicker" hours before they unleash potentially dangerous solar flares, a new study shows.
