I think that the best lenses for astrophotography are vital for getting clear, sharp images of the night sky. An astro lens needs to offer a wide-angle perspective, not just for capturing as much of ...

A superflare is an exceptionally powerful electromagnetic emission from a star, releasing energy equivalent to a trillion hydrogen bombs, far beyond the solar flares recorded to date. Figure 1 - ...

Researchers analyzed SDO footage of the coronal loops preceding 50 solar flares. This video shows the flickering in a loop from 2011 in four different wavelengths of ultraviolet. (Image credit ...

MONACO — Monte Carlo rally organizers called for better behavior from fans watching the race on Friday after flares were lit and pyrotechnics were used during Thursday night’s racing.

This breakthrough was achieved using the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), a nuclear fusion reactor often referred to as the "artificial sun." A Step Toward Unlimited Energy ...

The best protection filters don't need to do anything at all except take the bangs, knocks, and scratches that might otherwise wreck a very expensive lens! Simply put, they're one of the most ...

Intense solar flares—sudden bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun—can shoot out hazardous levels of energy strong enough to reach Earth’s atmosphere. Predicting solar flares, ...

as our star recently unleashed a massive X-class solar flare that was strong enough to cause radio blackouts across the south Pacific. This latest flare was unleashed from an emerging sunspot that ...
