A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Mercury, Venus, and Mars sit within the same general neighborhood as Earth, yet each has followed a radically different path.

Helioseismic data traces the solar dynamo to the tachocline about 200,000 km down.

The sun’s secret south pole has stepped into the light. For the first time, humanity has captured striking views of the sun’s mysterious polar region, thanks to the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. In a ...

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 ...

Citizen scientists reviewing NASA data discovered unusually high Solar flare rates, helping researchers better understand the ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered that a solar flare is triggered by initially weak ...

Far from the Sun’s heat, orbiting the outer planets of the solar system, are moons with oceans of liquid water beneath their frozen surfaces. Keith Cooper finds out how planetary scientists are ...
