The sun's activity has a profound impact on satellites, humans in space and technology on Earth. To understand the physical processes behind the sun's activity, it is vital for any simulation to ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — “The Earth actually lives in the atmosphere of the sun,” said Eric Christian, Associate Lab Chief in NASA’s Heliospheric Laboratory, during a Zoom call on March 8. One month out from ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has once again made history by achieving a speed that is almost unimaginable. During its recent journey through the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona, the ...

The elemental composition of the Sun’s hot atmosphere known as the ‘corona’ is strongly linked to the 11-year solar magnetic activity cycle, a team of scientists from UCL, George Mason University and ...

Sean MacBride, right, took photos of totality to contribute to a NASA project. He invited his high school science teacher, Brian Hoffman, to join him during the eclipse. Several of Hoffman's students ...

Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen. But scientists aren’t sure just how much there actually is in the Sun’s atmosphere, where it is hard to measure. Knowing the ...

Almost no one ever writes about the Parker Solar Probe anymore. Sure, the spacecraft got some attention when it launched. It is, after all, the fastest-moving object that humans have ever built. At ...

ESA’s Solar Orbiter discovered cascading magnetic avalanches on the Sun, triggering powerful solar flares and particle storms, revealing hidden processes that could protect satellites and advance ...
