The sun has become more and more active over the last 16 years, in a turn that surprised scientists and could affect space weather and technology on Earth, NASA announced this week. A new research, ...
States like Florida, Texas and California are no strangers to routine rocket launches − but New Mexico? Spacecraft also sometimes get off the ground from the state. Space news coverage may be ...
Scientists have spotted elusive "magnetic waves" in the sun's atmosphere that may explain why the sun's corona is much hotter ...
The sun has become increasingly active since 2008, a new NASA study shows. Solar activity is known to fluctuate in cycles of 11 years, but there are longer-term variations that can last decades. Case ...
Fast-tracking a NASA plan to build a nuclear reactor on the moon may sound dubious. Experts say that’s because it is. “The whole proposal is cock-eyed and runs against the sound management of a space ...

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 ...
In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to explore the outer reaches of the Solar System and the interstellar space beyond. Eventually, both spacecraft encountered a blazing “wall of fire” at the ...
A supersonic jet plane designed to make very little noise took flight for the first time this week, cruising over the ...
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe passed the sun last year, snapping images that NASA released July 10. The images were taken 3.8 million miles from the solar surface, which is the closest any probe has ever ...
