NASA is preparing to launch PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere), a groundbreaking mission that will use four satellites to study the solar wind in 3D. The mission, set to launch on ...

Solar Orbiter has revealed that tiny, hair-like jets in the Sun’s coronal holes are responsible for both fast and slow solar ...

Cosmic rays coming from outside the Solar System bring these particles closer to the Sun, where they experience changes ...

Nasa to launch PUNCH Sun mission to recreate solar eclipse - Four suitcase-sized satellites could revolutionise our ...

2D Simulation of Solar System using pure ES 6. Orbits computed with real coefficients (AU scaled to pixels). Main belt asteroids' eccentricities generated with Rayleigh distribution. Welcome to Space ...

Our Sun, the star at the center of our solar system, has long been a subject of fascination and study, observed through ground-based telescopes and space-based observatories. The European Space Agency ...

She mapped our solar system's "alternate fate" had it housed an extra planet between Mars and Jupiter instead of the existing asteroid belt. They developed a 3D model that simulates how the solar ...

The obvious reason for the increased frequency is the arrival of solar maximum. This peak in the sun's roughly 11-year cycle of activity, which is triggered by the weakening and eventual flipping ...

More than a month after a flooded data center at Stanford University knocked out data processing operations for two NASA sun-studying spacecraft, solar scientists are starting to regain access to ...

Named Prokofiev, Kandinsky, Tolkien, and Gordimer, the craters are some of the coldest places in the solar system, despite Mercury being the closest planet to the Sun. It was the sixth time the ...

One hint that there could be more to the solar system than we realise is the weird goings-on outside the Kuiper Belt, a doughnut-shaped ring of icy debris nearly 3,000,000,000 miles from the sun ...
