Our Sun, that steady burning ball of gas that has faithfully illuminated Earth for billions of years, is slowly but ...

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope is an incredible piece of equipment that is helping researchers to get a better look ...

NASA has drafted its Mars rover Perseverance to help monitor the sun’s activity. Every day for the next two months, the rover ...

Weather on Earth can be wild, but it's not the only kind of weather we have to deal with. Space weather — all the winds and particles streaming off the sun — can have major impacts on Earth and human ...

These images help to unravel the magnetic mechanisms driving the sun's behavior and shaping the space environment throughout ...

The European Space Agency has achieved yet another "first" for humankind by capturing the first photos of the Sun's south pole. These images were captured by the agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft, and ...

Could a passing star be on a collision course with our solar system and, eventually, Earth? It’s difficult to know if such an outcome is likely. Recently, researchers have found the Milky Way likely ...

For the first time in history, we re seeing the Sun from an angle no one ever has: from above and below its poles. Thanks to the European Space Agency s Solar Orbiter and its tilted orbit, scientists ...

First, let’s discriminate between expansion and expulsion. Expansion happens because the thermal pressure from the increased energy production in the Sun’s interior exceeds the gravitational force ...

The newborn planetary system appears to be emerging 1,300 light-years away around a baby star known as HOPS-315. Planet-forming materials were first identified using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Understanding how the Sun and its activity impact Earth and the solar system is important because solar storms affect the technology we use on Earth and in space. Now, a team of heliophysicists and ...

When the Sun runs out of hydrogen fuel and expands into a red giant, it will eventually encompass the innermost planets of the solar system, out to about Earth’s orbit. Being closer to our enlarged ...
