The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter captured the first-ever images of the sun's south pole in March, which were released this week.

Yellow, white or maybe even green—the sun’s hue depends on how you see it. Skip to main content. Scientific American. ... and it would be dimmer at different wavelengths.

When astronomers observe the sun they do so across a range of wavelengths of light — or electromagnetic radiation — including visible light and light not visible to the naked eye.

Radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum has different wavelengths. Wavelengths are measured by the distance between two crests of the wave. The number of crests that pass a given point within one ...

The National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye telescope debuted a close-up of the sun captured by its new, ultra-powerful imaging tool. Here’s what you can see.

Each SUVI channel is a different wavelength of ultraviolet light, which samples plasma to varying temperatures in the outer atmosphere of the sun. NOAA At about 1 million degrees Kelvin, it’s ...

The shorter the wavelengths, the easier for the light to be scattered out in the atmosphere. When the sun it overhead, it’s traveling through less atmosphere which means less scattering.

The smoke ultimately acts like a filter on the shorter wavelengths of light created by the sun, WKBN meteorologist Paul Wetzl explains.This lets through only longer wavelengths, which are red and ...
