NASA’s PUNCH mission will monitor the Sun, revealing solar storms in transit and helping scientists better prepare for Earth impacts. NASA’s Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission has demonstrated a novel forecasting technique...

Powerful solar eruptions may push the northern lights as far south as 22 U.S. states this weekend. Here is how to track the best viewing windows. Skywatchers across a broad swath of the United States may have a rare opportunity to witness the aurora...

NASA picks Rocket Lab for two missions probing solar energy and Earth’s ice clouds, boosting climate and solar research. NASA has tapped Rocket Lab to lift two compact scientific payloads that will deepen insight into solar energy flow and...

Scientists have discovered a strange new wave pattern in Earth’s magnetic shield, revealing why specific regions react differently to solar particle storms. New research has uncovered why the outer reaches of Earth’s magnetic environment exhibit...

NOAA-tracked solar flare may light up the U.S. with auroras, offering a rare chance to see the northern lights across several states. A pair of solar eruptions launched on July 26 and 27 could trigger a modest aurora that may be visible in the northern...

through space plasma. This approach allowed scientists to observe how the radiation belts grow, shrink, and shift during solar storms. The probes soon began revealing surprising complexity. Researchers discovered that the radiation belts are far more...

Increased solar activity could bring another spectacular display of the Northern Lights to skywatchers soon. Find out if you might see them near you. Skywatchers across the northern United States may be treated to a vibrant display of the aurora...

A solar eruption lit up the Swedish sky as Mars made a rare celestial alignment with the Beehive star cluster in a stunning astronomical coincidence. A striking celestial convergence over northern Sweden has captured the attention of astronomers and...

confirm that the specific 10:05 PM express train mentioned in the account was only in service between 1848 and 1849. Solar Storms and Early Technology The correction provides a clearer view of how emerging Victorian-era technologies first collided with...

A famous 1841 railway delay blamed on space weather actually occurred in 1848, according to new research using historical records and solar observations. For over a century, historians of technology have pointed to an 1841 incident in Exeter as the...

their ability to predict when and where the aurora will appear. By monitoring the sun’s activity, scientists track solar storms that send energetic particles toward Earth. When these particles reach our planet, they interact with the magnetic field,...

New study suggests a massive asteroid shattered 800 million years ago, unleashing a debris wave that swept through the inner Solar System. New calculations suggest that a catastrophic breakup of a parent body in the main asteroid belt around 800...

Testing a new wearable radiation shield during Artemis I reveals how future lunar astronauts can gain essential protection from deep space radiation. A novel wearable radiation shielding system, evaluated during NASA’s uncrewed Artemis I mission, has...

NASA engineers tweak Voyager 2’s operations to extend its interstellar data collection, ensuring continued insights from deep space. NASA has announced a fresh power‑conservation technique that will let the half‑century‑old Voyager 2 spacecraft keep...

Years of Hubble data reveal an unexpected, long-term atmospheric shift occurring on Saturn that scientists are only now beginning to understand. Astronomers have identified a mysterious ten-sided atmospheric wave swirling above Saturn’s south pole, a...

Tardigrades, the microscopic ’water bears’, survived space vacuum, extreme cold and intense radiation in lab tests, proving near‑indestructibility. The debate over how life first appeared on Earth has long inspired theories that the cosmos could have...
