This technique, "Selective Amplification of Ultra Noisy Astronomical Signal" or "SAUNAS," teases out low-brightness X-ray emissions from NASA's powerful X-ray space telescope, revealing the strange X-shaped twin plasma plumes. This was odd because when ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the sun early Tuesday, getting within just 4% of the Earth-sun distance — a feat compared to the '69 moon landing.

Early on Christmas Eve in 2024, a NASA craft swooped at blazing speed through the sun's atmosphere.

New analysis techniques and decades-old research helped NASA scientists identify an unusual black hole in a distant galaxy.

Reproduction of the image of a black hole THE black holes they have always been among the most unusual and fascinating “objects” in the universe. Despite the vast scientific literature, they are mysterious

During this approach, the spacecraft will dive through plumes of plasma still attached to the Sun. According to NASA, this is close enough to pass inside a solar eruption, similar to a surfer duck-diving under an ocean wave. Scientists will be unable to ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is expected to make history by flying into the sun’s outer atmosphere, called the corona, on a mission to help scientists learn more about Earth’s closest star. “No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star,

California, United States Christmas will be full of brightness for NASA's Parker Solar Probe as it will fly closest to the fiery surface of the sun ever in human history on Christmas Eve. This is the closest any man-made machine will travel to the burning star.

To get so close, the Parker Solar Probe had to withstand the sun's extreme heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it.

The Solar Orbiter mission has produced unprecedented high-resolution images of the Sun, showcasing the complex interplay of its magnetic fields and plasma movements. These images, which include detailed views of sunspots and the corona,

NASA's Parker Solar Probe flew closer to the sun than any human-made object ever — a stunning technological feat that scientists liken to the historic Apollo moon landing in 1969.
