Launched into Earth's orbit last June, GOES-19 is the newest addition to NOAA's fleet, equipped with a sensor called the ...

These dark areas on the Sun, as seen in satellite images, can produce space weather events known as coronal hole high-speed streams (CH HSS), which can trigger Northern Lights on Earth. The SWPC rates ...

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course.

What's more, these results have resonances in nuclear fusion, as the Sun remains the only stable nuclear fusion reactor in our solar system. Improving our understanding of the Sun's internal ...

There are also relativistic effects that can cause particles to spiral inward toward the sun. Gravity is the force that governs the structure and motion of the solar system, keeping celestial ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), often labeled the “artificial sun,” is a fusion reactor that has sustained high-confinement plasma for a striking 1,066 seconds. This ...

Here’s how it works. Shining loops of plasma on the surface of the sun "flicker" hours before they unleash potentially dangerous solar flares, a new study shows. The new findings could help ...

Mini-Neptunes are the most numerous of the more than 5,800 confirmed exoplanets at time of writing, which is interesting, because we have nothing directly analogous to them here in our Solar System.

Six planets in our solar system are coming into alignment and will ... because all six planets will be on the same side of the sun from Earth’s perspective. During the first nights of February ...

The EAST reactor in China, known as the “artificial sun,” achieved a record-breaking plasma sustainment ... including doubling the power of the reactor’s heating system. These enhancements allowed the ...

A stunning victory in the High Court over Rupert Murdoch, a grovelling apology, and the first ever admission of unlawful wrongdoing at The Sun ... the way our justice system worked in the NGN ...

He shot the city for nearly half a century, taking thousands of images that captured the human condition, first for suburban newspapers, then for 40 years on staff at the Chicago Sun-Times ...
