Close-up observations of the Sun explain how solar flares start, grow, and send high-energy particles racing through space.

During a close approach to the Sun, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter watched that tipping point unfold in unusually ...

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

Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...
