The goal of the LWS program is to develop the scientific understanding necessary to effectively address those aspects of the connected Sun–Earth system directly affecting life on Earth and its society. The goal of the SDO is to understand the influence of the Sun on the Earth and near-Earth space by studying the solar atmosphere on small ...
Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), [1] also called Explorer 94 and SMEX-12, [2] is a NASA solar observation satellite. The mission was funded through the Small Explorer program to investigate the physical conditions of the solar limb, particularly the interface region made up of the chromosphere and transition region.
Space is very big and quite often, very weird. Last week, an image captured by NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter looked just like a bear, and "The Green Comet" reached its closest point to Earth in ...
Features as small as 30km (18 miles) in size are observable for the first time. The image shows a pattern of turbulence of solar plasma, a super-heated gas. The cell-like structures, each about the size of Texas (approximately 700'000km 2), are the signature of a dynamic activity of heat from the inside of the sun to its surface. The solar ...
This is how close the Parker Solar Probe will get to the sun. The Parker Solar Probe is expected to pass within an "unprecedented" 3.86 million miles of the solar surface on Dec. 24, according to ...
Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from an unprecedented distance of approximately 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of that day's Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System.
