This technique, "Selective Amplification of Ultra Noisy Astronomical Signal" or "SAUNAS," teases out low-brightness X-ray emissions from NASA's powerful X-ray space telescope, revealing the strange X-shaped twin plasma plumes. This was odd because when ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the sun early Tuesday, getting within just 4% of the Earth-sun distance — a feat compared to the '69 moon landing.

New analysis techniques and decades-old research helped NASA scientists identify an unusual black hole in a distant galaxy.

Early on Christmas Eve in 2024, a NASA craft swooped at blazing speed through the sun's atmosphere.

During this approach, the spacecraft will dive through plumes of plasma still attached to the Sun. According to NASA, this is close enough to pass inside a solar eruption, similar to a surfer duck-diving under an ocean wave. Scientists will be unable to ...

Reproduction of the image of a black hole THE black holes they have always been among the most unusual and fascinating “objects” in the universe. Despite the vast scientific literature, they are mysterious

At 3.8 million miles from the Sun's surface, Parker Solar Probe will be the closest a human-made object's ever been to our host star.

NASA's pioneering Parker Solar Probe made history Tuesday, flying closer to the sun than any other spacecraft, with its heat shield exposed to scorching temperatures topping 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit (930 degrees Celsius).

To get so close, the Parker Solar Probe had to withstand the sun's extreme heat and radiation like no spacecraft before it.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, traveling at 430,000 mph, reaches 3.8 million miles from the Sun. It collects data on the solar wind and corona.

Mars is on the cusp of becoming bigger and brighter than at any point since 2022 as it comes into alignment with Earth and the sun.
