NASA's Parker Solar Probe has mapped the Sun's Alfvén surface, the boundary where solar wind escapes the corona. These continuous, two-dimensional maps reveal the dynamic nature of this "point of no ...
3I/ATLAS has now made its closest approach to the sun and Earth and is now heading back out toward the outer solar system. On ...
Space telescopes are typically optimized either to study a small patch of the sky across many wavelengths of light or to ...
"I think every astronomer is going to find something of value here, as NASA's missions enable the world to answer fundamental questions about how the universe got its start, and how it changed to ...
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and Europa Clipper captured detailed observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in 2025, providing data on its trajectory, composition, and behavior as it passed through the ...
Space-based solar power could deliver clean electricity day and night, but launch costs, safety, and scale remain major ...
By studying tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, scientists mapped dark matter and dark energy across one of the largest sky surveys ever assembled. Their results back the standard ...
Using the WISPR (Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe) instrument aboard NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, scientists observed the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS from October 18 to November 5, 2025.
