ESA’s Proba-3 mission enables long-duration artificial solar eclipses in space, allowing continuous observation of the Sun’s ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

Proba-3 took an image of the Sun's inner corona every five minutes during an active period in September last year.

“This is the longest continuous series of images ever created for a single active region: It’s a milestone in solar physics,” ...

ESA's Proba-3 mission, made up of twin spacecraft capable of aligning to create artificial eclipses, has captured "rare" footage of three solar prominences erupting from the sun's mysteriously hot ...

The European Space Agency’s Proba-3 is a marvel of engineering. Two spacecraft fly in formation to observe the Sun. Well, not ...

Scientists have pulled back the curtain on one of the most extreme solar regions seen in decades, tracking it almost nonstop for three months as it unleashed powerful space weather. By combining views ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

The European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter mission recently stunned the world with the first-ever full images of our Sun’s South pole, proving that this was going to be a mission like no other. Using ...

Our Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, is millions of degrees hotter than it should be, and no one knows why.
