An international team of space physicists and engineers has unveiled a highly ambitious planetary ...

Beneath the Sun's outer shell, a layer of highly ionized, boiling hot gas flows all the way down to 200,000 kilometers below the surface of the star. Temperatures of this plasma can reach up to 45,000 ...

A stunning solar "waterfall" has been spotted on the surface of the sun. The picture, taken by astrophotographer Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau on March 9, shows a wall of plasma being shot "some 100,000 ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are using a solar wind forecasting method combined with analytic and numerical ...

The Sun’s rotation produces changes in its magnetic field, which flips completely every 11 years or so, triggering a phase of intense activity. Solar flares – huge eruptions from the surface of the ...

PASADENA, Calif.–In orbit around Earth is a wide range of satellites that we rely on for everything from television and radio feeds to GPS navigation. Although these spacecraft soar high above storms ...

Astrophotography often brings us closer to the wonders of space, but some images stand out more than others. Mark Johnston, a dedicated astrophotographer, has recently captured a breathtaking view of ...

A new study has revealed an unexpected link between solar storms and the flux of high-energy cosmic rays arriving at Earth.

A series of gigantic yet eerily faint plasma loops temporarily rose above our home star's surface after a powerful solar flare exploded from the sun on Monday, stunning new photos show. These loops ...

How do we extract energy from space around a spacecraft? If there are differences in the speed of the solar wind or differences in flows of particles around a spacecraft or where a spacecraft is ...
