A strange shift in Earth's rotation is making our days milliseconds shorter — and scientists are racing to understand why.

His team found that the Sun and Earth’s atmosphere work together like giant filters. They get rid of weak space rocks long before those rocks ever hit the ground.

During a solar eclipse, astronomers who study heliophysics are able to study the sun's corona—its outer atmosphere—in ways ...

However, the temperature of space remains low because the vacuum is empty, and there are no particles in space to absorb and redistribute the Sun's energy in the same way the Earth's atmosphere ...

Space experts say there is no need to worry yet about the solar flare. NASA The recent CME and solar flare events occurred while the Sun was on a general downward trajectory in terms of activity ...

This study presents a machine learning approach to estimate the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) shortwave radiation flux from Deep Space Climate Observatory / Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (DSCOVR/EPIC) ...

New simulations suggest that up to four of the solar system's rocky planets, including Earth and a long-lost world, once orbited in mathematical harmony around the infant sun.

Recreating artificial solar eclipses in space could help astronomers decipher the inner workings of our sun much quicker than if they had to wait for the celestial show on Earth. The plan, part of ...

A space diagram shows the comet passing between the orbits of Earth and Mars sometime during late fall or early winter, but because of the alignment of planets and the Sun from September through ...

This solar system and universe station is part of the Sun, Earth, Universe exhibition that opens Monday, May 5, on the fourth floor of the University of Wyoming’s Science Initiative Building. The ...
