A distant white dwarf hosts an Earth-like planet in an orbit that might be similar to Earth’s if it survives the Sun’s red giant phase.

NOAA shared new images taken by the world's first operational space-based coronagraph, CCOR-1, captured during a solar storm outburst.

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory’s CCOR captured solar CME images, while the LASCO telescope observed comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS ...
