  3. 3 NASA Satellites Recreate Solar Eruption in 3-D

    The more solar observatories, the merrier: Scientists have developed new models to see how shocks associated with coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, propagate from the Sun - an effort made possible...
  4. Magnetic coil springs accelerate particles on the Sun

    In April and July 2014, the Sun emitted three jets of energetic particles into space, that were quite exceptional: the particle flows contained such high amounts of iron and helium-3, a rare variety...
  5. STEREO images show the Sun's Outer Atmosphere is More Complex than Previously Thought

    The outer part of the Sun's atmosphere, the corona, looks pretty smooth, but new deep exposures of the outer corona reveal complex structures. This should make for some interesting observations from...
  6. Return of the Comet: 96P Spotted by ESA, NASA Satellites

    Sun-gazing missions SOHO and STEREO watched the return of comet 96P/Machholz when it entered their fields of view between Oct. 25-30. It is extremely rare for comets to be seen simultaneously from...

  9. NASA's Fermi Sees Gamma Rays from 'Hidden' Solar Flares with help from STEREO

    An international science team says NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has observed high-energy light from solar eruptions located on the far side of the sun, which should block direct light from...
  10. SUN 360: Our Solar System's Space Weather Watchdog

    Join us for a series of presentations celebrating STEREO and efforts to predict space weather on the 10th anniversary of STEREO's launch, October 25, at 1:00 pm EDT. A panel of scientists including...
  11. Waves on Sun Give New Insight into Space Weather Forecasting

    STEREO and SDO observations of the solar poles reveal large scale waves that could help us predict the locations of future solar active regions.

  12. Images From Sun's Edge Reveal Origins of Solar Wind

    Ever since the 1950s discovery of the solar wind - the constant flow of charged particles from the sun - there's been a stark disconnect between this outpouring and the sun itself. As it approaches...
