The sun supports all life on Earth. But its 'solar tsunamis' threaten our electricity infrastructure. Discover how New Zealand is preparing for extreme solar storms ...

The weather on Earth can get pretty messy sometimes. But in space, it can be wild, and the effects can be far-reaching. Solar flares, giant explosions on the sun, can send out streams of energy that ...

Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe a distant galaxy merger called CRISTAL-02. CRISTAL-02 is losing ...

America’s electric grid is entering a period of unprecedented strain. Utilities across the country are scrambling to keep up as power-hungry AI data centers expand at a staggering pace, often ...

BOULDER, Colorado – The sun’s volatile outbursts, such as storms, flares and other space weather, can cause serious harm to astronauts like the Artemis 2 crew who recently came home, and to satellites ...

The SOLAR-1 satellite, operated by NOAA, has officially become operational after a nearly one million-mile journey to the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 1 (L1), marking a transformative step in monitoring ...

In October 1989, a blast from the sun flung out a stream of super-powered protons. This solar storm lasted for days and forced astronauts working in low-Earth orbit, aboard NASA’s Atlantis space ...

University of Birmingham experts have created open-source computer software that helps scientists understand how fast-moving particles behave when they interact with electromagnetic waves in space.

Scientists at the British Antarctic Survey use them to study space weather and its links to Earth’s climate. But for one scientist, the waves are more than just data points — they’re an artistic ...

Solar storms satellites must withstand are among the most powerful natural space events, driven by space weather activity that releases massive energy bursts into the solar system. These events ...

NASA's Artemis II launch is scheduled for 6:24 p.m. Wednesday, April 1, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Meteorologists note a chance of concern from cumulus clouds and ground winds, but expect ...
