The Solar Orbiter mission photographed the Sun, leading the European Space Agency (ESA) to release, for the first time, high-resolution images of the star’s surface.

Bulgaria's first polar astronomy project will take place in 2024-2025

"Impact of solar activity on ionospheric dynamics and high-energy particle fluxes over Antarctica" is the title of the first Bulgarian polar astronomical scientific research project, which will take place in 2024-2025 on the territory of the Bulgarian Antarctic Base on Livingstone Island.

The most powerful solar flare since 2017 has been registered so far. The sun has expelled a mass with values unseen for close to a decade, reports UPI. In less than 24 hours, the sun has unleashed three waves of X-class flares, the highest magnitude on the scale measuring the intensity of solar eruptions.

A NASA telescope has captured the biggest solar flare in years, which temporarily knocked out radio communication on Earth.

The sun spit out the huge flare, resulting in two hours of radio interference in parts of the U.S. and other sunlit parts of the world. Scientists said it was the biggest flare since 2017.

A Turkish astro-photographer has secured third place in the solar category of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year Competition, an esteemed event organized by the Royal Observatory of Greenwich in London.

The astronomy photography competition received a total of over 4,000 submissions from 64 countries, establishing its status as the most prestigious event in this field.

The space agency is waiting out a phenomenon known as a solar conjunction, in which Earth and Mars are on opposite sides of the sun

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, illuminated the skies over multiple cities in Türkiye's Marmara and Black Sea regions in vivid shades of red, green and violet in a rare display after the most powerful solar storm hit the earth.

Bulgaria witnesses an unusual red glow. According to some, it is the Aurora Borealis, which causes multicolored lights to dance in the sky.

Photos are "raining" from all over the country. The phenomenal optical phenomenon was also visible in neighboring countries.
