The summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, falls on June 20 this year in North America, and June 21 in Europe.

Space weather experts warn that a "moderate" geomagnetic storm could rock Earth over the weekend, potentially lighting the skies with vibrant auroras across large parts of the U.S. and Europe.

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured the sharpest-ever images of the sun’s surface, revealing ultra-fine bright and dark stripes called striations that are caused by powerful magnetic fluctuations.

For the first time, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun. The images captured by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft reveal our star's magnetic field is a powder keg ready to blow.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly observed a powerful magnetic explosion in the sun's corona that could help us predict geomagnetic storms on Earth.

Advanced image restoration techniques have produced reconstructed views of the sun with an 8K image resolution for the first time.
