For centuries, we’ve been fascinated by the Sun, the fiery heart of our Solar System. But what does the Sun truly look like?

The Parker Solar Probe, designed, built, and operated by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, captured the images during ...

Since Galileo first observed them through his telescope in the early 1600s, sunspots have fascinated scientists.

Scientists also measured the speed and direction of material on the sun’s surface using a velocity map, or “tachogram.” The blue portions indicate movement toward Solar Orbiter, while red ...

Sunspots are transient features on the surface of the sun that are thought to be shaped by the sun's magnetic field. These relatively cooler regions appear as dark spots in relation to the rest of ...

A shallow magnetic field Previous theories suggested the Sun’s magnetic field originates deep within our star, about 130,000 miles (209,214 kilometers) below its surface.

The Parker Solar Probe snapped images of the Sun from a distance of 3.8 million miles (6.1 million km) from the surface at ...
