February 15, 2011 - Active region 1158 let loose with an X2.2 flare, the largest flare since 2006, and the biggest flare so far in Solar Cycle 24

Artists concept of a Hot Jupiter orbiting a star named 51 Pegasi
In 1995 astronomers discovered a Hot Jupiter orbiting a star named 51 Pegasi, in the constellation of Pegasus. This planet was named Bellerophon. It orbits the star in just a few days

Artists concept of a massive planet in very close orbit around its star
An artists depiction of a massive planet in very close orbit around its star

Artists concept of a Hot Jupiter extrasolar planet orbiting a sun-like star. The intense heat from the star blows off the planets atmosphere into space

A planet and its moon resisting the relentless heat of the giant orange sun Pollux. Every sun has a violent cycle in which solar activity increases and the planets around it must face its wrath

A cutaway view of the sun, showing its different parts and the currents that flow within it

H-alpha-Sun Promimence

H-alpha Sun with solar prominences

Full Sun showing coronal mass ejection
June 7, 2011 - An M-2 flare occurred on the Sun which released a very large coronal mass ejection (CME). At this wavelength, very little of the ejected material is visible

An intensity M8. 7 solar flare on the Suns surface
January 23, 2012 - An intensity M8.7 solar flare on the Suns surface. A stream of solar material is seen flowing off into space above the hot spot, likely solar protons and a coronal mass ejection

Artists concept of a planet passing in front of a Sun-like star it orbits
An artists depiction of a planet passing in front of the star it orbits from a distant perspective. The event is known as a transit

Two solar prominences erupt from the Sun
January 28, 2011 - Two solar prominences erupt from the Sun

Bright sun shining in the universe with starry background

Spring eclipse as viewed from the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Unlike the crisp shadow one sees on the sun during a lunar eclipse, Earths shadow has a variegated edge due to its atmosphere

Solar winds hit a ringed planet with charged particles and gases

The turbulent surface of our Sun, showing prominences, sunspots and other features

A M-2 solar flare with coronal mass ejection
June 7, 2011 - The Sun unleashes an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare with a spectacular coronal mass ejection. The large cloud of particles mushroomed up

Solar activity on the Sun
February 17, 2011 - Solar activity on the Sun. An X-class solar flare erupts from the suns active region. X-flares are the strongest type of solar flare

Voyager 2 spacecraft studies the outer limits of the heliosphere
This artists rendering depicts the Voyager 2 spacecraft as it studies the outer limits of the heliosphere, a magnetic bubble around the solar system that is created by the solar wind

H-alpha Sun in orange with active area

Artists concept of Cygnus X-1, a luminous x-ray source in the constellation Cygnus
In 1964 a luminous x-ray source in the sky caught the attention of astronomers. This source contained the first black hole discovered

A dark rift in the suns atmosphere known as a coronal hole
An ultraviolet image of a dark rift in the suns atmosphere, known as a coronal hole. This is a vast region where the sunas magnetic field has opened up and allowed the solar wind to escape

Coronal holes on the Sun
January 20, 2013 - Image of the Sun in extreme ultraviolet light captures a heart-shaped dark coronal hole. Coronal holes are areas of the Suns surface that are the source of open magnetic field

Artists concept of a solar storm
Our very own Sun creates a solar storm every now and again. One of the side effects can be a disruption in telecommunications and an increase in the beautiful northern lights, the aurora borealis

An artists concept of the STEREO spacecraft surrounding the sun

Red dwarf Sun floating through space

NASAs two Voyager spacecraft exploring a turbulent region of space
This artists concept shows NASAs two Voyager spacecraft exploring a turbulent region of space known as the heliosheath, the outer shell of the bubble of charged particles around our sun

Diagram of Energetic Neutral Atoms from a region outside Earths magnetopause
NASAs Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) found that Energetic Neutral Atoms, or ENAs, are coming from a region just outside Earths magnetopause where nearly stationary protons from the solar wind
