Understanding the solar system's local bubble. The eROSITA telescope, the primary instrument of the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission launched in 2019, is the ideal instrument to tackle this ...

NASA intends to take an unprecedented 3D observation of the sun this month. In doing so, the agency hopes to understand why its outer atmosphere — the corona — is hotter than its surface, how does the ...

These high-resolution images will help physicists stitch together a 3D image that will help solar astronomers get a detailed view of the structure of the solar wind, and understand the sun’s ...

The June 3 CME shown at the top of the image grew to an enormous size, 100 times that of the Sun, as it traveled across the solar system. Credit: Courtesy of SwRI The imaging system consists of ...

NASA's PUNCH mission, led by SwRI, used its Narrow Field Imager to collect images of solar activity. By blocking the sun's bright face, NFI captures the sun's atmosphere in unprecedented detail.

Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system.
