The High Resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C) is a sub-orbital telescope designed to take high-resolution images of the Sun's corona. As of 2020 [update] it has been launched three times, but only the first and the third launches, on July 11, 2012, and May 29, 2018, resulted in a successful mission. [ 1 ]
A new solar telescope in Hawaii has released a series of images of the sun that peer inside the depths of its sunspots and so-called "quiet regions." The sun may be close to 94 million miles away ...
The images, taken on March 22, 2023, and released Wednesday, showcase different dynamic aspects of the sun, including the movements of its magnetic field and the glow of the ultrahot solar corona ...
The Solar orbiter just produced the closest pictures ever taken of the Sun, revealing our parent star in stunning detail. This joint mission from NASA and the ESA launched on February 9 of this ...
Features as small as 30km (18 miles) in size are observable for the first time. The image shows a pattern of turbulence of solar plasma, a super-heated gas. The cell-like structures, each about the size of Texas (approximately 700'000km 2), are the signature of a dynamic activity of heat from the inside of the sun to its surface. The solar ...

The character of the lighting is determined by the sun's altitude, and the time for the sun to move from the horizon to a specified altitude depends on a location's latitude and the time of year. [4] In Los Angeles, California , at an hour after sunrise or an hour before sunset , the sun has an altitude of about 10–12°. [ 5 ]
Solarigraph with the sun paths between July 2018 and May 2019 in a street at Valladolid, Spain. Solarigraphy is a concept and a photographic practice based on the observation of the sun path in the sky (different in each place on the Earth) and its effect on the landscape, captured by a specific procedure that combines pinhole photography and digital processing.
