This SOHO spacecraft image from 2002 shows a widely spreading coronal mass ejection (CME) as it blasts more than a billion tons of matter out into space.
A Major Step Forward in Explaining the Ribbon in Space Discovered by NASA’s IBEX Mission
[News]
02.05.2013
In 2009, NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission science team constructed the first-ever all-sky map of the interactions occurring at the edge of the solar system, where the sun's influence diminishes and interacts with the interstellar medium. A 2013 paper provides a new explanation for a giant ribbon of energetic neutral atoms – shown here in light green and blue -- streaming in from that boundary.
A Next-Generation X-Ray Telescope Launches
[News]
11.02.2012
FOXSI (Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager) launched from White Sands, N.M. to study these nanoflares. To do so, it will make use of a state-of-the-art x-ray telescope that will be able to focus incoming x-rays from the sun in a way that has never before been possible.

Solar maximum is still a year away. This month sky watchers got a taste of things to come when a powerful flare sparked Northern Lights over the United States as far south as Arkansas, Colorado and California.
ACE, Workhorse Of NASA's Heliophysics Fleet, Is 15
[News]
08.29.2012
In its first 15 years, ACE has helped determine the composition of the vast sea of flowing particles surrounding Earth. ACE also serves as a sentinel that helps measure the input -- the solar wind -- that drives the dynamics of the magnetosphere.
