NASA’s Solar Observatory Sees Two Eclipses in One Day
In a rare celestial event, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured two eclipses on July 25, 2025. First, at 2:45 UTC, the Moon passed between SDO and the Sun, covering about 62% of the solar disk. Just hours later, around 6:30 UTC, Earth itself blocked the Sun entirely from SDO’s perspective. These dual eclipses occurred during SDO’s...

NASA Showcases AI-Powered Computational Tools to Advance Scientific Research at SC24 Event
At SC2024, NASA’s Nicola Fox revealed the agency’s new AI-powered computational tools aimed at improving space science. These tools will be deployed across divisions, including Earth science, heliophysics, and astrophysics. A key example presented was a heliophysics model using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory to predict solar wind and ...

NASA Might Have Spotted Highest Number of Sunspots in Over 20 Years
On August 8, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) may have documented a record-breaking number of sunspots in a single day, marking a significant event in Solar Cycle 25. These sunspots, which are dark, cooler areas on the Sun’s surface caused by intense magnetic activity, play a crucial role in the Sun's behaviour and have a direct impa...

NASA Observatory Captures Image Of Aurora Created By A Solar Storm
The near-Earth Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this CME in September 2012, which traveled over 900 miles per second (1,448 kilometers per second), causing an aurora to appear.

NASA's Satellite Captures "Creepy" Smiley Face On Surface Of Sun After Solar Eclipse
Following Tuesday's partial solar eclipse, the Sun developed what appeared to be a smiley face pattern in its atmosphere. NASA Sun shared the image which showed a face-like pattern made out of black patches against the Sun's otherwise fiery features.

NASA Spacecraft Captures Giant Filament on Sun
A NASA spacecraft has captured a giant solar filament which appears as a dark line snaked across the lower half of the Sun and is longer than 67 Earths lined up in a row.

Radiation from 'solar whip' on Sun to hit Earth today
NASA scientists have discovered an eight lakh kilometer long 'solar whip' on the surface of the Sun and have warned that some radiation from it is headed for the Earth today. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has captured a very long, whip-like solar filament in a long arc above the Sun's surface, the Daily Mail reported.
