For the first time in history, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has flown through a region of the Sun where explosive magnetic ...

For over 70 years, scientists have struggled to fully understand how the Sun’s magnetic fields generate the intense solar storms that can disrupt life on Earth. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, a ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has directly observed magnetic reconnection in the Sun’s atmosphere for the first time, confirming decades-old theories about solar explosions. This discovery bridges ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, which has been soaring through space since it launched in 2018, has taken the closest-ever images of the sun.

When closest to the sun, the probe's solar shields will have to withstand temperatures close to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

For the first time, humanity has captured stunningly detailed images of the Sun from an unprecedentedly close distance. Using ...

Last year, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its record-breaking flyby of the Sun, zooming just 3.8 million miles from the solar surface, and we’re just now seeing some results from that close ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly observed a powerful magnetic explosion in the sun's corona that could help us predict geomagnetic storms on Earth.

The Parker Solar Probe was 1,500 pounds of ambition when it launched from Florida in 2018, on a seven-year mission to “touch the Sun.” The goal was to have the probe orbit 24 times, using ...
