Voyager 1 has been exploring the cosmos for decades, but when it reached the edge of the solar system, it found something ...

Normal gases, like the air you breathe on Earth, are made up of atoms bouncing around. Atoms consist of a positively charged bundle of particles called the nucleus and negatively charged particles ...

Earth's invisible magnetic field acts as a vital shield, protecting life from dangerous cosmic radiation and solar particles.

After five months of silence, NASA’s Voyager 1 is once again transmitting data from the edge of interstellar space. In an ...

A curious, icy and distant object has just been discovered far beyond Pluto. Nicknamed Ammonite, it intrigues astronomers with its stable orbit lasting over 4 billion years. Its discovery could change ...

While making a death-defying dive through the sun’s atmosphere, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly recorded a powerful plasma explosion heading toward our star’s surface in unprecedented detail.

Solar magnetic activity plays a pivotal role in driving a myriad of eruptive events in the corona, including flares, filament eruptions and coronal mass ejections. These phenomena arise from the ...

Solar wind generated by the sun is probably driven by a process involving powerful magnetic fields, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers based on the latest ...

Earlier this week, the Sun unleashed a flurry of plasma and magnetic fields, or coronal mass ejection, at interstellar object ...
