NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is making its second of three planned close passes through the sun’s outer atmosphere. The spacecraft will reach speeds of 430,000 mph, making it the fastest human-made ...

Now here’s one for the mantelpiece. A newly released image shows the sound barrier being broken on February 10 as America’s first civil supersonic jet completed its second flight at speeds exceeding ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA has been slowly working the Parker Solar Probe closer and closer to the Sun ever since its launch in 2018. The probe, which is heralded as the fastest object humans have ever made, has broken ...

First NASA figured out how to fit a square peg in a round hole (it happened in Apollo 13 and it’s totally worth googling to see how they did it, but Hair Balls digresses); now they’ve spotted a square ...

Explosions of charged particles from the Sun, known as Coronal Mass Ejections (CME), are being observed in more detail by a NASA mission aimed at helping scientists better predict space weather events ...
