At more than one million degrees, the Sun’s atmosphere, the corona, is incredibly hot. However, not everywhere. Time and again, huge structures of significantly cooler solar plasma - about 10,000 ...

The new computer simulations are based on a magnetic field structure that is often associated with prominences: the magnetic field lines in the corona form a double arc with a small dip in the middle.

NASA’s Expedition 74 crew has progressed quantum experiments aboard the International Space Station while German researchers unveiled the most realistic simulations yet of solar prominences. The ISS ...

Solar prominences, huge arcs of plasma hovering above the Sun, are getting fresh attention from scientists studying space weather. New research shows how these structures form, evolve, and sometimes ...
