Researchers at the University of Isfahan in Iran claim to have improved the precision of digital elevation models (DEMs) in creating high-resolution annual solar energy potential maps. DEMs are 3D ...

19th-century mathematics is giving way to 3D, high-resolution, real-topography models that could provide a more precise path of totality for the next total solar eclipse. Solar eclipse maps show crisp ...

Today, the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the sun's outer atmosphere—the solar corona. The mission's two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a ...

“It makes your heart want to skip a beat — and you cannot really describe it to someone who hasn’t experienced it in person,” said Lynnice Carter on Monday, after watching the total solar eclipse that ...

NOAA's GOES-19 satellite may have captured the first natural solar eclipse from space, with the moon's odd path explained by a spacecraft maneuver.

During a solar eclipse, astronomers who study heliophysics are able to study the sun's corona—its outer atmosphere—in ways they are unable to do at any other time. The brightest part of the sun is so ...

A pair of spacecraft just launched to create hundreds of artificial solar eclipses in orbit. The European Space Agency mission, called Proba-3, will allow scientists “to see an eclipse on demand,” as ...

All of Ohio was able to witness a lunar eclipse last night. Especially the night owls and very early risers. The Earth passed between the sun and the March full moon around 2:30 a.m., creating a ...
