A record-breaking radio burst from the Sun in August 2025 came from a structure in the Sun's atmosphere called a helmet stream. This image, taken during the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, shows the classic V-shape of a large helmet stream. Credit: Miloslav Druckmüller, Peter Aniol, Shadia Habbal/NASA Goddard, Joy Ng
