The project has recently been submitted to the European Space Agency for consideration as a future mission. The current mission design proposes a launch in the 2030s, returning at least 400 minutes of ...

Professor Avi Loeb of Harvard cited three reasons 3I/ATLAS might be an alien spacecraft. First, its trajectory is highly unusual. The object passed through space relatively close to multiple planets ...

ESA’s Proba-3 mission enables long-duration artificial solar eclipses in space, allowing continuous observation of the Sun’s ...

When the six tiny spacecraft of NASA’s SunRISE (Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment) mission settle into their orbits high above Earth after launching later this year, they’ll function as one ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

ESA's Proba-3 mission, made up of twin spacecraft capable of aligning to create artificial eclipses, has captured "rare" ...

I n 2016, NASA launched the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) probe, which famously touched down on asteroid Bennu in 2020, before ...

Earth's magnetic field was struck by a "severe" solar storm Monday (Jan. 19), triggering vibrant auroras in the U.S. and ...

Solar prominences occur when the sun’s plasma, flowing along the magnetic field lines that the sun creates, forms a loop into space along the edge of the sun’s disk. When a prominence becomes ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...
