While making a death-defying dive through the sun’s atmosphere, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly recorded a powerful plasma explosion heading toward our star’s surface in unprecedented detail.

Spirals of solar wind can spin off larger solar eruptions and disrupt Earth's magnetic field, yet they are too difficult to detect with our current single-location warning system, according to a new ...

On Christmas Eve 2024, a human-made spacecraft came closer to the Sun than any other piece of technology our species has ever made. The Parker Solar Probe, as it's called, came within 3.8 million ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is making its second of three planned close passes through the sun’s outer atmosphere. The spacecraft will reach speeds of 430,000 mph, making it the fastest human-made ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured images of the sun 3.8 million miles away. Images collected by the probe include some of the sun’s outer atmosphere. The images are helping scientists figure out the ...

Recent research suggests that our solar system could already be hosting alien probes, potentially observing us from a distance. This idea aligns with a 2023 statement from a Pentagon UFO chief who ...

It takes light a single day to travel 16 billion miles. The Voyager 1 probe will need a little longer, just 49 years.

The British Geological Society is warning that the Earth is about to get hit by the most powerful solar storm in over two decades.

So-called 'picojets' spotted by ESA's Solar Orbiter could be feeding high-speed gas outflows from the sun in the form of both energy and matter. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

In 1949, famed mathematician and physicist John von Neumann delivered a series of addresses at the University of Illinois, where he introduced the concept of the "universal constructor." The theory ...

ESA has found a way to make its own solar eclipses more or less on demand and all it took was a pair of robotic spacecraft flying in a formation precise to within a millimeter of each other thousands ...
