The enhanced imaging capabilities of the coronal adaptive optics system facilitate the study of small-scale phenomena like ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to see the outermost layer of the Sun, called the corona, with enough detail to unlock ...

Watch this one-week time-lapse of the coronal hole in the Sun's atmosphere from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. Amazing One-Week Time-Lapse Capturing A Gigantic Coronal Hole On Sun Via NASA's Solar ...

Rubin Observatory is ready for its grand opening, and the world is invited. The observatory in the foothills of the Chilean ...

Installed in the Goode Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory in California, Cona has captured the highest-resolution images to date of the sun’s corona.

The team used the Goode Solar Telescope at Big Bear Observatory to capture fine details of the solar corona. This is the sun’s outer atmosphere, invisible to the naked eye except during eclipses.

Researchers at the National Solar Observatory (NSO) and Big Bear Solar Observatory have developed a version of AO that works with our bright central star. Dubbed coronal adaptive optics, or CAO ...

Here’s how it works. "Coronal rain" — as seen here by the Goode Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory — forms when hotter plasma in the sun's corona cools down and becomes denser.

Thanks to a breakthrough adaptive optics system called Cona, installed at the 1.6-meter Goode Solar Telescope (GST), operated by NJIT's Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) at Big Bear ...

The Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) is an exceptional site, and its Goode Solar Telescope (GST) is a great instrument. Thanks to a new upgrade that pushes it to its theoretical limit, that ...

Funded by the NSF and installed at the 1.6-meter Goode Solar Telescope (GST), operated by NJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR) at Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) in California, “Cona” ...

The Big Bear Solar Observatory might seem like a surprising presence, almost hovering out there over the calm waters, but the reason this facility is in a small Southern California town a couple ...
