A massive new sunspot complex, dubbed AR 4294-4296, has emerged on the sun and is facing directly at Earth. The dark patch is on par with the infamous sunspot that birthed the 1859 Carrington Event — but, for now, it's staying quiet.

An eerie new photo shows a giant red ring shining above Possagno, near the Italian Alps. The eye-catching image is almost identical to one taken in the same town in early 2023.

A giant S-shape structure, around 10 times wider than Earth, recently appeared in the center of the sun, moments before our home star unleashed an even larger plume of plasma that later crashed into our planet.

The never-before-seen "nova," dubbed V462 Lupi, recently appeared in the constellation Lupus, after suddenly becoming 4 million times brighter. The shining explosion is visible to the naked eye and can be seen from parts of North America.

A large sunspot has just reappeared on the sun's Earth-facing surface, almost two months after it first emerged. The unusually old dark patch remains stable and could be on course to become the longest-lived sunspot on record, experts claim.

Chinese rocket Zhuque-2E creates light streak in US night sky and photobombs hundreds of astro shots

A recent launch of China's Zhuque-2E rocket triggered a giant white streak of light to appear above at least seven U.S. states after deploying six satellites into low-Earth orbit. The light show, which was visible in at least seven states, was the result of a "fuel dump," experts say.

Photos show that comet C/2025 F2 (SWAN) experienced a "major eruption," causing it to become temporarily brighter. However, it's still unclear whether the icy object is a true "cryovolcano."

Comet SWAN25F was discovered using photos from the European Space Agency's SOHO spacecraft and can currently be spied using backyard equipment — but it could also become visible to the naked eye in the next few weeks.
