This technique, "Selective Amplification of Ultra Noisy Astronomical Signal" or "SAUNAS," teases out low-brightness X-ray emissions from NASA's powerful X-ray space telescope, revealing the strange X-shaped twin plasma plumes. This was odd because when ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the sun early Tuesday, getting within just 4% of the Earth-sun distance — a feat compared to the '69 moon landing.

New analysis techniques and decades-old research helped NASA scientists identify an unusual black hole in a distant galaxy.

Early on Christmas Eve in 2024, a NASA craft swooped at blazing speed through the sun's atmosphere.

During this approach, the spacecraft will dive through plumes of plasma still attached to the Sun. According to NASA, this is close enough to pass inside a solar eruption, similar to a surfer duck-diving under an ocean wave. Scientists will be unable to ...

At 3.8 million miles from the Sun's surface, Parker Solar Probe will be the closest a human-made object's ever been to our host star.

The Parker Solar Probe, traveling at 430,000 mph, reaches 3.8 million miles from the Sun. Scientists now wait for a signal and proof of life.

To get so close, the Parker Solar Probe had to withstand the sun's extreme heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is expected to make history by flying into the sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona, on a mission to help scientists learn more about Earth’s closest star. “No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star,

The Solar Orbiter mission has produced unprecedented high-resolution images of the Sun, showcasing the complex interplay of its magnetic fields and plasma movements. These images, which include detailed views of sunspots and the corona,
