NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed its 27th close approach to the Sun in March 2026, gathering data from the corona to ...

Geomagnetic storms from solar eruptions may increase aurora activity this March. Timing near the spring equinox could make northern lights visible farther south.

Solar wind sounds poetic, but it's a very real and powerful phenomenon, connecting the Sun to every part of our solar system. Unlike the wind we feel on Earth, solar wind isn't moving air; it's a ...

Yeimy J. Rivera receives funding from NASA's Parker Solar Probe project through the SAO/SWEAP subcontract 975569. Tatiana Niembro receives funding from NASA's Parker Solar Probe project through the ...

This artist’s concept depicts the boundary of the sun’s atmosphere that marks the point of no return for material that escapes the sun’s magnetic grasp. Deep dives through this area using NASA’s ...

Mars's atmosphere and climate are impacted by interactions with solar wind, a stream of plasma comprised of protons and electrons that flows from the sun's outermost atmosphere (corona), traveling at ...

Wind energy infrastructure doesn’t produce power if the air isn’t moving, and solar doesn’t generate power if the sun’s not out. But that doesn’t mean that either source of energy is "worthless" ...

‘Homegrown energy sources, such as wind and solar, take on more strategic value in a world faced by frequent crises,’ explained Dr Chris Rosslowe. Image: Arno Senoner, Unsplash. Expanded ...
