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 ...

A breakthrough in solar imaging: the new Cona adaptive optics system enables high-resolution observations of the Sun’s corona ...

Scientists have produced the finest images of the Sun's corona to date. To make these high-resolution images and movies, the team developed a new 'coronal adaptive optics' system that removes blur ...

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 ...

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.
