The spacecraft flew within 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) of the solar surface to "touch the sun" on Christmas Eve. NASA's Parker Solar Probe is alive! Two days after a historic ...

The probe has already braved coronal mass ejections, major blowups that spew the sun’s plasma out into the solar system. The mission team is hoping for stormier solar seas that might illuminate ...

Researchers at the University of Isfahan in Iran claim to have improved the precision of digital elevation models (DEMs) in creating high-resolution annual solar energy potential maps. DEMs are 3D ...

3D map of the Milky Way’s Local Hot Bubble (LHB) created from eROSITA data reveals a low-density region around the solar system, heated by ancient supernovas. The bubble shows temperature gradients ...

The discovery doubles the known number of these mysterious celestial objects across our solar system that resemble asteroids but zip through space like comets, albeit without the “tail” comets ...

Night - Cloudy with a 57% chance of precipitation. Winds from WNW to NW at 4 to 15 mph (6.4 to 24.1 kph). The overnight low will be 25 °F (-3.9 °C). Cloudy with a high of 32 °F (0 °C) and a 51 ...

(NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute) Saturn, by contrast, is practically defined by its extensive rings. It seems likely that, outside the Solar System, rings could be common, given the large number of ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the ...

“It’s a relic of the environment the solar system was born out of,” Rankin says of the interstellar medium. Within it are energetic atomic fragments called galactic cosmic rays, as well as ...

The work joins other studies that have proposed interstellar flybys to explain eccentricities in the orbits of certain objects in the solar system. The solar system is approximately 4.6 billion ...

A couple of maps and ... only solar. NSW and Victoria had a mix although most of the latter’s projects were solar PV. Western Australia is a separate grid with a separate system, and the federal ...
