Did you know that at any given moment, as many as 10 million wild jets of solar material burst up from the Sun’s surface? These jets are known as spicules, and they erupt as fast as 60 miles per second and can reach lengths of 6,000 miles before collapsing.

• Solar Prominance • Taken over a period of approx 11 hrs. The prominence plasma flows along a tangled and twisted structure of magnetic fields generated by the sun’s internal dynamo. An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and bursts outward, releasing the plasma. Also visible are Spicules, a dynamic jet of plasma in the Sun's chromosphere about 300 km in diameter, rise at a rate of 20 km/s (or 72,000 km/h) and can reach several thousand kilometers in height before

In May 2025, the NSF National Solar Observatory and NJIT presented the clearest images ever of fine plasma structures in the Sun’s corona—thanks to Cona, the world’s first coronal adaptive optics system, installed at Big Bear Solar Observatory. Cona has now been commissioned for science and completed its first two-week campaign dedicated to scientific observations. These brand new high-resolution science data, along with data since 2023, are now openly available, forming an archive of 80 high-re
