Data collected during last year's close encounter of the Parker Solar Probe with the Sun reveals the existence of inflows in ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has survived an up-close encounter with the sun, officially coming closer to the fiery star than any other spacecraft before it. The record-breaking solar approach took place ...

While making a death-defying dive through the sun’s atmosphere, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly recorded a powerful plasma explosion heading toward our star’s surface in unprecedented detail.

In Parker’s first close approach to the Sun, it observed that the solar wind near the Sun was indeed abundant with Alfvén waves. Our Sun drives a constant outward flow of plasma, or ionized gas, ...

China's recently launched Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) has returned its first image, showing an M-class flare erupting on the sun. The European sun-observing mission Solar Orbiter ...

Parker is attempting to be the closest a human-made object has been to the sun. NASA is gearing up for its Parker Solar Probe to do a final flyby of Venus on Wednesday on its way to making history as ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe observed solar wind reversing back toward the Sun during its close approach, revealing dynamic atmospheric processes and providing critical insights into solar material and ...

Several years after its successful launch, the Parker Solar Probe is making history, effectively touching the Sun to study how our star generates the solar wind of energetic particles it blasts ...

The solar wind swarms with charged particles that can light up auroras, cause satellites to glitch, and damage electrical infrastructure on Earth. Despite its importance, we have a limited ...
