NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been watching the Sun for 15 years — and this spacecraft sees much more than meets the eye!
SDO’s 10 imaging channels capture visible, ultraviolet, and extreme ultraviolet light, helping scientists study solar material at a range of different temperatures. Together, they reveal a prismatic picture of our ever-changing star.

We just got a brand new view of the Sun!
ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter has revealed the first-ever images of the Sun’s polar regions, previously hidden parts of the Sun newly visible thanks to the spacecraft’s uniquely “tilted” orbit.
The new images showcase a surprisingly splotchy mix of magnetic fields at the Sun’s poles. It’s a sign that our Sun is in its most chaotic phase, right in the middle of “flipping” its entire magnetic field upside down.
With its new vantage point, Solar Orbiter will be the first spacecraft to watch this flipping process happen at the Sun’s poles. The data will give new insight into the forces driving solar eruptions that affect Earth.

In spring 2024, NASA’s Hi-C Flare team achieved a space science first: timing a rocket launch with a solar flare.
Using cutting-edge algorithms to measure the earliest indicators of a flare, the team launched the rocket right as the region erupted. A few minutes into flight, the telescope’s viewport opened and captured a close-up like we’ve never seen before.

Did you know the Sun can reuse its energy? ☀️ ♻️
Images captured as NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its record-breaking closest approach to the Sun in December 2024 have now revealed new details about how the Sun can recycle some of its magnetic energy — potentially redirecting solar storms and influencing whether they impact Earth or Mars.
The images showed that not all magnetic material in a coronal mass ejection (CME) escapes the Sun — some makes it back, changing the shape of the solar atmosphere in subtle, but significant, ways that can set the course of the next CME exploding from the Sun. These findings have far-reaching implications for understanding how the CME-driven release of magnetic fields affects not only the planets, but the Sun itself.
