Halloween is just around the corner, and reality can be a lot more frightening than any horror movie. A new audio recording of a solar storm colliding with the magnetic field of our planet can definitely prove it. The recording ...
China launched the ASO-S satellite to research solar and space weather in what seems to be one of the most challenging space missions the country has developed. The Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) satellite was launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch ...
A fantastic image shows a million-mile-long plume emerging from the Sun, and it’s like nothing you’ve seen before. Professional astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy took the incredible picture. According to the astrophotographer, the blazing filament, also known as a coronal mass ejection ...
The Sun is once again giving us the creeps as new solar storms might be on their way. It’s no surprise, after all, considering the tremendous temperatures that exist at our star, especially inside its core: roughly 15 million degrees ...
Over the weekend, our globe was struck by a geomagnetic storm, which surprised scientists in that it didn’t seem to be caused by a solar flare. Photographers were able to capture the storm when it coincided with a rare conjunction ...
We all like to think that the Sun is our best friend, and we’re not here to contradict the idea. Our star provides heat, energy, and oxygen to all of us. Life wouldn’t be possible without the Sun. But we’re ...
Recent simulations reveal that what scientists previously assumed were coronal loops of plasma emerging from the Sun’s surface following magnetic field lines really might be creases in ribbed sheets of plasma. Scientists have coined the term “coronal veil” to describe ...
Planets do not take much longer to form after stars have formed. For example, the Sun formed 4.6 billion years ago, and the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. However, scientists now say it is not necessarily the only possibility. ...
The NASA TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission just discovered something significant: our own sun is remarkably well-behaved in comparison to its counterparts elsewhere in the cosmos.

Bennu is a 500-meter-wide asteroid that circles our solar on a path that takes it dangerously near to Earth on a regular basis. According to Icarus, NASA scientists utilized new data and complicated computer models to estimate the exact course ...
