Solar observations

Solar observations involve studying the Sun’s surface, atmosphere, and magnetic activity using specialized instruments like telescopes and satellites. These observations reveal phenomena such as sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections, which can impact space and Earth-based technologies. By analyzing solar emissions across various wavelengths, scientists learn about the Sun’s behavior, energy output, and magnetic field dynamics. This understanding helps predict space weather, safeguard satellites and power systems, and deepen our knowledge of stellar processes, since the Sun serves as a vital reference for studying stars throughout the universe.
