The June Solstice is coming! Friday, June 20, 2025 at 10:42 pm EDT • 9:42 pm CDT • 8:42 pm MDT • 7:42 pm PDT • Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 02:42 UTC| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
Much like the Earth, the Sun has gaseous layers in both the interior and atmosphere. Learn about the Core, Radiative Zone, Convection Zone, and Solar Atmosphere.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
The Sun is not just a big bright ball. It has a complicated and changing magnetic field, which forms things like sunspots and active regions.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
The solar wind is the continuous flow of charged particles from the sun that permeates the solar system. Learn what a solar wind is, and how it affects us here on Earth, Mars and beyond.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
Launched in October 2006, STEREO traces the flow of energy and matter from the sun to Earth. It also provides unique and revolutionary views of the sun-Earth system. STEREO, when paired with SDO, can now give us the first complete view of the sun’s entire surface and atmosphere.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
This mission is designed to perform unprecedented close-up observations of the Sun and from high-latitudes, providing the first images of the uncharted polar regions of the Sun, and investigating the Sun-Earth connection.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
SOHO, the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory, is a project of international collaboration between ESA and NASA to study the Sun from its deep core to the outer corona and the solar wind.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
Visible in northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, with some partial in Europe & NE USA, northern Russia, and parts of northwestern Africa. The post Partial Solar Eclipse — March 29, 2025 appeared first on The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
The good news is that the eclipse will be visible across much of the world, including parts of North and South America, Europe, and Africa. The post Total Lunar Eclipse on March 13-14, 2025 appeared first on The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
The First Mission to the Nearest Star! Parker Solar Probe will be a historic mission, flying into the Sun’s atmosphere (or corona) for the first time. Scientists hope this data will help them understand how heat and energy move through the corona and drive the solar wind, which can cause space weather here on Earth. Parker Solar Probe will make two dozen close approaches to the sun over its seven-year mission.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
Parker's unique ability to travel closer to the sun than any previous spacecraft has provided unprecedented data about the sun and its impact on the solar system.| The Sun Today with Dr. C. Alex Young
