Flickering coronal loops in the Sun's outer atmosphere could act as an early warning system for solar flares, according to ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe could solve the mysteries of the solar wind and test Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Traveling in the solar corona, the outermost layer of the sun’s atmosphere, the probe during its close encounter accelerated to 430,000 mph, faster than any spacecraft has ever flown. “We sent ...

NASA finds flickering coronal loops signal solar flares, paving the way for better space weather predictions and safety ...

The Parker Solar Probe flew within 3.8 million miles of the Sun's surface, the closest any spacecraft has ever gone.

Since its launch it has flown close to the Sun and examined the corona, or the layer of atmosphere on the outer edge that can be seen during a solar eclipse. Now however it will begin potentially ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has recently achieved a historic milestone by making the closest-ever approach to the Sun, passing through the corona, which is the suns outer atmosphere. On December 24 ...

The daring NASA spacecraft made its closest-ever approach to the sun at 6:53 a.m. EST (1153 GMT) on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24).

From its formative role in the solar system to its effect on Earth’s technology, studying heliophysics is essential for ...
