When we think of weather, we’re typically thinking of more terrestrial phenomena — snow, tornadoes and hurricanes. There’s also space weather, and it could impact images of the sun during ...
Three NASA astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut left the space station on Wednesday, after weeks of delays due to bad weather, including Hurricane Milton.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has survived an up-close encounter with the sun, coming closer to the fiery star than any other spacecraft before it. NASA's Parker Solar Probe whizzes within 3.8 million ...
Space weather effects. Space weather is a branch of space physics and aeronomy, or heliophysics, concerned with the varying conditions within the Solar System and its heliosphere. This includes the effects of the solar wind, especially on the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. [1]
NOAA's GOES-R Series of satellites is designed to improve the forecasts of weather, ocean, and environment by providing faster and more detailed data, real-time images of lightning, and advanced monitoring of solar activities and space weather. GOES-17 can collect three times more data at four times image resolution, and scan the planet five ...
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.
NASA announced it would pursue a launch of its $4.1 billion Artemis I rocket to the moon Saturday. The two-hour launch window opens at 2:17 p.m. and teams will meet on Thursday for another review ...
The GOES system uses geosynchronous equatorial satellites that, since the launch of SMS-1 in 1974, have been a basic element of U.S. weather monitoring and forecasting. The procurement, design, and manufacture of GOES satellites is overseen by NASA. NOAA is the official provider of both GOES terrestrial data and GOES space weather data.
