NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed its 27th close approach to the Sun on March 11, again matching its record distance of 3.8 million miles (6.2 million kilometers) from the solar surface.

Citizen scientists reviewing NASA data discovered unusually high Solar flare rates, helping researchers better understand the Sun’s magnetic activity and improve space-weather predictions.

Video shows NASA's futuristic solar sail technology prototype. Like a sail on the ocean propels a boat with the wind, this space sail is meant to propel payloads by harnessing the pressure of sunlight.

When NASA crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in 2022, it altered both Dimorphos' orbit around its parent asteroid, Didymos, and the two objects' orbit around the sun, according to new research.

As four astronauts travel around the moon on NASA's Artemis II mission, they will venture beyond Earth's protective magnetic field. The crew's spacecraft, Orion, will carry and protect them as they journey into deep space and serves as the main protection against the sun's intense power.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Sixty years after NASA set the goal, and three years after its Parker Solar Probe launched, the spacecraft has become the first to "touch the sun." The Parker Solar Probe has successfully flown through the sun's corona, or upper ...

The Sun was in attendance - not always the case - for astronomy educator Alice Enevoldsen's spring-equinox sunset watch last night, as were more than 30 people. For more than 15 years, as part of her role as a volunteer NASA Solar System Ambassador,

Four years ago, NASA purposely smashed a spacecraft into a small asteroid to see if they could deflect it -- a test to prove humanity could protect Earth from threatening space rocks.Their observations detailed in the paper showed that the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in 2022 marked "the first time a human-made object has measurably altered the path of a celestial body around the Sun,

NASA’s twin ESCAPADE spacecraft will uncover how the Sun stripped Mars of its atmosphere. Mars is a very different world today than it once was. Scientists believe the planet used to have a thicker atmosphere,

NASA plans to send one of its highest-profile leaders, a Cold War-era supersonic jet, and a cargo plane large enough to swallow spacecraft components to SUN ‘n FUN 2026, the annual fly-in held each spring in Lakeland,
