A cosmic alignment and a little bit of spacecraft gymnastics have provided a ground-breaking measurement that is helping solve the 65-year-old cosmic mystery of why…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe recently passed through a powerful CME, offering groundbreaking observations that support a two-decade-old theory about CME interactions with interplanetary dust, pivotal…
Researchers have demonstrated that excessive sun exposure can adversely impact the short-term diversity and composition of the skin’s bacterial makeup. Skin, the largest organ of…
Scientists have used Solar Orbiter’s EUI camera in a new mode of operation to record part of the Sun’s atmosphere at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths that…
Caltech researchers simulated solar flares, discovering that their structures resemble intertwined ropes. When these ‘ropes’ overload, they break and emit energy bursts, shedding light on…
Images from the Solar Orbiter revealed small “picoflare” jets within a coronal hole on the Sun, which might supply energy to the solar wind, enhancing…
The ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered a multitude of tiny jets of material escaping from the Sun’s outer atmosphere. Each jet lasts between 20…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe used a Venus flyby to prepare for its upcoming record-setting orbits around the Sun, aiming to study the Sun’s mysteries as…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, launched five years ago, has made remarkable achievements, including becoming the first spacecraft to “touch the Sun.” It has collected vital…
A solar eruption detected simultaneously at Earth, the Moon, and Mars emphasizes the need to prepare human exploration missions for the dangers of space radiation….
Astrophysicists reveal the sun is beaming down gamma rays with energies higher than ever measured. The gamma rays lose energy in Earth’s atmosphere, meaning they…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe accomplished a milestone on June 27, 2023 – its 16th orbit of the Sun. This included a close approach to the Sun…
The Sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 7:14 p.m. EDT (4:14 p.m. PDT) on July 2, 2023. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Identifies Mechanism Driving the Sun’s Fast Wind Parker Solar Probe data has helped researchers understand how the sun’s wind can reach…
The Sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 1:09 p.m. EDT on June 20, 2023. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly,…
NASA is funding five diverse research projects to exploit the scientific opportunities presented by the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Using a mix…
With data from Big Bear Solar Observatory’s Goode Solar Telescope, researchers discover intense wave energy in the coldest region on the Sun, the sunspot umbra,…
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe probe got close enough to sun’s surface to see hidden granular features. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has flown close enough…
