Detailed images of the sun's corona have been hampered by turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere. Adaptive optics now make it possible to compensate for this.

This phenomenon, known as coronal rain, occurs when superheated plasma in the corona cools, condenses, and falls back along magnetic field lines towards the Sun’s surface. These streams, along with ...

The sun's corona—the outermost layer of its atmosphere, visible only during a total solar eclipse—has long intrigued ...

A rather new adaptive optics system dubbed Cona has just opened a new window into the mysterious world of the Sun's corona, ...

It’s sometimes easy to forget that the light in the sky is an actual star. With how reliable it is and how busy we tend to be ...

Using a newly developed adaptive optics system called Cona, scientists peered through Earth's turbulent air to reveal the sun ...

Scientists develop new optical system that removes blur over fine-structure in the Sun's corona, revealing clearest images to ...

Astronomers have captured videos of the sun without the typical blur caused by turbulence in Earth's atmosphere ...

This is the Sun as seen in groundbreaking ... leveraged new coronal adaptive optics tech to bypass the blurriness caused by the turbulence of the Earth's atmosphere, a time-old obstacle that's ...

New technology called the coronal adaptive optics system has captured the most detailed view of the Sun's outer atmosphere.
