NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which observes the sun, was able to capture an image of the event, which the agency said peaked at around 5:49 p.m. ET June 17.

NASA have discovered massive bursts of plasma emitted from the sun were strong enough to shift its magnetic field.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Astronomers have discovered the earliest seeds of rocky planets forming in the gas around a baby sun-like star, providing a precious peek into the dawn of our own solar system.

A solar flare is a burst of radiation on the sun, according to NASA. They are the most powerful explosions in the solar system, with the biggest ones having as much energy as a billion hydrogen bombs.

The sun is the star at the center of our solar system. It's the largest, brightest and most massive object in the solar system, and it provides the light and heat that life on Earth depends on.

Stars passing close to the sun could cause planets to collide, including with Earth, or even be ejected as rogue planets, new simulations show.

Astronomers have observed an object that originated from beyond our solar system, thought to be an interstellar comet, speeding through our celestial neighborhood.

The sun contains over 99% of the mass of our entire solar system. Like Earth, the sun also rotates on its axis. Each rotation takes about 27 Earth days. Everything you need to know about the sun ...
