Solar flares are characterized by intense bursts of energy and radiation from the Sun’s surface. In a matter of just a few ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

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 ...
