NASA SunRISE mission delay pushes its six fully tested solar-observing SmallSats to no earlier than mid-2027, meaning the only planned instrument for pinpointing solar particle storm origins will miss ...

Two large coronal holes dominating the Earth-facing side of the Sun are sending back-to-back high-speed solar wind streams toward Earth right now, with isolated G1-class (minor) geomagnetic storm ...

NOAA and NASA place the maximum of solar cycle 25 around the end of 2024. Earth is therefore entering the declining phase of the cycle.

The observed and predicted Solar Cycle is depicted in Sunspot Number in the top graph and F10.7cm Radio Flux in the bottom graph. The predicted progression for the current solar cycle (Cycle 25) is ...

For one, we rely on the ionosphere for communication via the transmission of high-frequency radio waves. The ionosphere is one of the upper layers of our atmosphere that, as its name suggests, is ...

While there is a total solar eclipse over parts of Europe, that “has no unusual impact on Earth’s gravity,” the space agency explained in a statement NASA/NASA/AFP via Getty NASA is pushing back on a ...

The Total Solar Eclipse on August 12, 2026, will offer researchers and stargazers a rare peek at stuff they usually can't spot with their own eyes: the Sun’s outer air, called the corona. The Solar ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. These images of the corona and solar prominences were taken ...

These images of the corona and solar prominences were taken in different wavelengths of visible and infrared light by imagers aboard NASA’s WB-57 jet during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse. The ...
