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

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

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 ...

A new time-lapse reveals the Sun’s inner corona glowing a faint yellow, offering a rare look at the hottest layer of our star’s atmosphere. The footage was created using images from the ASPIICS ...

The sun's inner corona, the hottest part of our star's atmosphere, appears faint yellow in a time-lapse made from images ...

The project has recently been submitted to the European Space Agency for consideration as a future mission. The current ...

Using artificial solar eclipses, the ESA probes Proba-3 are researching the corona of our home star. Now there is an ...

F or all of its life-sustaining energy, the sun is pretty chaotic. Roiling plasma covers its surface along with fluidic snarls of magnetic fields that birth solar flares. These fiery outbursts occur ...

The Sun’s inner corona appears greenish in this image taken on 23 May 2025 by the ASPIICS coronagraph aboard Proba-3, ESA’s formation-flying mission capable of creating artificial total solar eclipses ...

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

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