A subset of data that helps map out the sun's magnetic fields was recently released from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

The stars are boiling! The reason is the energy generated in the center of the star that wants to escape.

Visible to the human eye as dark blemishes on the solar disk, sunspots are the starting points of explosive flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that sometimes hit our planet 93 million miles away.

Researchers at the University of Central Lancashire have monitored the birth of a sunspot over a period of eight hours using observations from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

Scientists are determining the properties of materials inside the sun in order to prevent solar damage to high tech systems.
