NASA's Parker Solar Probe is about to make its closest approach to the sun. The spacecraft will fly within 3.8 million miles of the solar surface. The spacecraft is collecting essential data that ...
Nasa has confirmed that its Parker Solar Probe is “operating normally” after making the closest-ever approach to the Sun by a spacecraft.. The pioneering probe made its closest approach to the ...
An example of space weather: Aurora australis in the Earth's atmosphere observed by Space Shuttle Discovery, May 1991. Space weather is the environmental condition within the Solar System, including the solar wind. It is studied especially surrounding the Earth, including conditions from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere and thermosphere.
A Nasa spacecraft is in “good health” after going closer to the Sun than anything ever has, the space agency has said. ... up to 983C and flying by the Sun at 430,000 miles per hour, Nasa said ...
The GOES spacecraft have carried an X-ray sensor (XRS) which measures the flux from the whole solar disk in two bands – 0.05 to 0.4 nm and 0.1 to 0.8 nm – since 1974, an X-ray imager (SXI) since 2004, a magnetometer which measures the distortions of the Earth's magnetic field due to space weather, a whole disk EUV sensor since 2004, and ...
The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.
Water ice has also been discovered to be mixed in with lunar dust grains in cold, permanently shadowed regions near the lunar poles. NASA discovers the Moon is wet — now scientists want to go ...
