Solar scientists are using deepfake AI images to unravel the mysteries of the Sun’s atmosphere. The research, being presented at the National Astronomy Meeting this week, was carried out as part of a ...

The Sun is the closest star to Earth, and as such, it is also the most studied. It has taught us much about how stars behave, but it still holds a few mysteries. One of these mysteries is just how the ...
