On Sept. 26, engineers issued the command to turn off the plasma science instrument. Sent by NASA's Deep Space Network, it took 19 hours to reach Voyager 2, and the return signal took another 19 ...

NASA has captured a dark plasma eruption on the sun that has a 60 percent chance of causing blackouts on Earth this week. The approximately 36,000 degrees-Fahrenheit (F) 'cold' solar flare is ...

The plasma experiment had been gathering limited data. NASA expects the Voyager 2 spacecraft will continue operating with other experiments into the 2030s.

NASA released a new video of a spectacular solar sight that could impact Earth this weekend.The agency said the geomagnetic ...

As I noted above, the Voyager 2 mission won’t be shuttered anytime soon. Despite NASA turning off the plasma science instrument, the probe still has four other operational instruments aboard it.

Because of this inevitability, NASA decided it was time to scale back operations on Voyager 2 by shutting down its plasma science instrument. Doing so, however, took much longer than it does to ...

NASA aims to send astronauts to Mars by the 2030s. But with current technology, the journey will be years long. That's why NASA invested in a new type of rocket that could shorten the trip to just ...

Engineers and technicians work on deploying and stowing stationary plasma thrusters on NASA's Psyche spacecraft before its launch in 2023. Two plasma engines are visible here mounted to a dual ...

NASA and the European Space Agency created the above timelapse video of R Aquarii using Hubble images that spanned 2014 to 2023. This thermonuclear explosion is called a "nova" — not to be ...
