The Solar Orbiter mission photographed the Sun, leading the European Space Agency (ESA) to release, for the first time, high-resolution images of the star’s surface.

Bulgaria's first polar astronomy project will take place in 2024-2025

"Impact of solar activity on ionospheric dynamics and high-energy particle fluxes over Antarctica" is the title of the first Bulgarian polar astronomical scientific research project, which will take place in 2024-2025 on the territory of the Bulgarian Antarctic Base on Livingstone Island.

A NASA telescope has captured the biggest solar flare in years, which temporarily knocked out radio communication on Earth.

The sun spit out the huge flare, resulting in two hours of radio interference in parts of the U.S. and other sunlit parts of the world. Scientists said it was the biggest flare since 2017.

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, illuminated the skies over multiple cities in Türkiye's Marmara and Black Sea regions in vivid shades of red, green and violet in a rare display after the most powerful solar storm hit the earth.

Some have managed to record this unique phenomenon.
Professor Vladan Duci, Ph.D., noted that as a professional who studies these phenomena, nothing is unusual for him, and that the aurora borealis over Belgrade could be seen in 2000, on April 6 and 7.

A stunning natural spectacle graced the skies of Bulgaria recently, as the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, danced over several cities. This awe-inspiring event, which occurs only rarely in the region, was the result of a solar flare that took place on November 3.

For the first time, the Northern Lights became visible in almost the entire Europe

Bulgaria witnesses an unusual red glow. According to some, it is the Aurora Borealis, which causes multicolored lights to dance in the sky.

Photos are "raining" from all over the country. The phenomenal optical phenomenon was also visible in neighboring countries.

Light pollution is growing rapidly and in some places the number of stars visible to the naked eye in the night sky is being reduced by more than half in less than 20 years, according to a study released on Jan. 19.

The Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, which has initiated works to become a member of the International Dark Sky Association, will set up Turkey's first Dark Sky Park in the city. Milky Way observation activities, educational activities and sports activities will be organized in the Dark Sky Park, which has only 92 examples in the world.
