Fastest spacecraft ever built to break its own speed record

Parker Solar Probe continues to push the boundaries of solar exploration with unprecedented approaches to the Sun.

Tory space minister mixes up Mars and the Sun

Conservative space minister Andrew Griffith mistook the Sun for Mars and Jupiter for Saturn during a visit to the Science Museum in London.
Griffith stated that he would not want to visit space and believes it is a job for other people.

"Severe" solar storm could bring Northern Lights to U.S. this weekend

The Sun is emitting strong solar flares, potentially causing communication disruptions but also offering a chance to see the Northern Lights in the U.S.

Can you see the northern lights in California? Light show expected to peak in 2024

Scientists predict peak solar activity in 2024, leading to more visible northern lights in California.
Auroras are caused by the activity of the sun, as charged particles collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere.

Under Pluto's Sunny Skies, You'd Have to Wear Shades

The sun is a star, not significantly different from others in the Milky Way.
The brightness of the sun depends on the distance from it.

Gigantic Object on Surface of Sun Turns to Face the Earth

A massive sunspot on the surface of the Sun is aligning with Earth and is expected to release a coronal mass ejection (CME)
The sunspot, named AR3576, is exceptionally large and has the potential to cause global transmission problems and blackouts

Scientists don't know much about the heliosphere's shape. An interstellar probe could change that

The Sun's influence extends beyond Earth's orbit into the heliosphere, impacting a vast area of space.
The heliosphere acts as a protective shield by blocking interstellar radiation and particles from reaching our solar system.
