The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope will unlock a new era for how we study the Sun. These first images of the chromosphere are just a start, similar to how Webb’s first images were just a taste ...

Pictures of the International Space Station as it passes in front of the Sun or Moon are a bit of a feather in the cap of ...

The sun’s chromosphere sits below the corona, which is usually invisible and historically has only been seen during a total solar eclipse. But new technology like this telescope has changed that.

Stunning shots of the sun's chromosphere were taken by the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, the world's most powerful solar telescope on the island of Maui, Hawaii.

In chromosphere images, the sun looks like "a hairy ball" because of all the plasma movement, McCarthy said. But the space station shows up in visible light.

[Related: The sun’s chromosphere is shades of golden in these new images.] Sunspot activity is also tied to cycles of about 11 years. During a cycle, ...

Is there any way, by means of an ordinary telescope with coloured glasses, of seeing the red prominences on the sun's edge —that is, without a spectroscope? If so, what coloured glasses ought to ...

The chromosphere and corona also emit visible light, but on Earth's surface, they can be seen only during a total solar eclipse, when the moon passes between Earth and the sun.

The total solar eclipse on 8 April will only be visible to those in a path about 185 kilometres wide, where the sun will be completely eclipsed for up to 4 minutes and 26 seconds. Just before ...
