PSP observed switchbacks — traveling disturbances in the solar wind that caused the magnetic field to bend back on itself. NASA animation of the Probe passing through the Sun's stellar corona. Inside the boundary at the corona's edge, its Alfvén critical surface, plasma connects to the Sun by waves traveling back and forth to the surface.
A CME is a large outburst of plasma sent from the Sun towards interplanetary space. Together with space weather observation capabilities on the Earth-orbiting GOES-U satellite, SWFO-L1 constitutes the space segment of NOAA's Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) program. The aim of the SWFO program is to ensure the robust continuity of space-based ...
Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission One lander, seen here, will carry 10 NASA science and technology instruments to the Moon’s near side when it launches from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center ...
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 chilling animation from Nasa shows how far the sea level has risen in the past 30 years.. In the visualisation, the average level rises by over 10cm between 1993 and 2022. “As the planet warms ...
It is part of the Education and public outreach team and assists with various functions to help educate the public, mainly children, about the SDO mission, facts about the Sun and Space weather. [26] Camilla also assists in cross-informing the public about other NASA missions and space related projects.
Nasa has launched a new spacecraft that will look back down to Earth. The Pace satellite was carried up on a SpaceX rocket, and will turn around survey the world’s oceans and atmospheres to help ...
STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) is a solar observation mission. [2] Two nearly identical spacecraft (STEREO-A, STEREO-B) were launched in 2006 into orbits around the Sun that cause them to respectively pull farther ahead of and fall gradually behind the Earth.
