A new visible-light photograph of the Sun has captured tiny plasma vortices for the first time, confirming a long-predicted solar phenomenon.

Using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, researchers captured the first clear images of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities on the Sun's surface, revealing that these plasma vortexes are ubiquitous and could reshape our understanding of heat and energy movement in the solar atmosphere.

A new study in Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests Earth may survive the sun's red giant phase due to less effective tidal dissipation and greater mass loss, contrary to previous predictions.

A new 3D climate model suggests that life on Earth may survive for over a billion years longer than previous estimates, thanks to stabilizing feedback loops in Earth's carbon cycle.
