NASA’s Parker Solar Probe reveals the sun recycling erupting plasma, as solar material bursts outward then curls back, ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe observed solar wind reversing direction, capturing inflows and coronal material returning to the Sun, providing new insights into solar magnetic field dynamics.

New study of Voyager 2 data shows Uranus experienced a solar wind event during the 1986 flyby, helping explain unusual magnetosphere readings ...

An SwRI-led study identified particles accelerated to extremely high energies by magnetic reconnection near the Sun. As NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (trajectory shown in green) crossed the heliospheric ...

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

From the center of the solar system, rages a powerful wind. Sent by the Sun, this wind whips at speeds exceeding one million miles per hour as it traverses to the edge of interstellar space bathing ...
