NASA’s Parker Solar Probe safely zipped by the sun this week, collecting information about the star’s corona, solar wind, and magnetic field. This is the third time since the probe's 2018 launch that it has ha
Why is the more distant corona so much hotter than parts of the Sun closer to its core? We simply don't know yet—but that's one of the questions that NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe to answer. How Do We Study the Sun?
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is currently the fastest spacecraft ever launched. (Image credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Steve Gribben) So if you were theoretically able to hitch a ride on the Parker Solar Probe and take it on a detour from its sun-focused mission to travel in a straight line...
the Parker Solar Probe made another daring pass, flying just 3.8 million miles from the Sun's surface. At its peak, the spacecraft traveled at nearly 430,000 mph — fast enough to get from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., in just one second. During the pass, the probe's heat shield...

Why the universe made more matter than antimatter in the Big Bang is a mystery — if the two are perfectly symmetrical, then shouldn't there be an equal amount of both? Nonetheless, this asymmetry appears to be a good thing. If you recall, equal amounts of normal matter and antimatter ...

Two selfies taken by Zhurong on May 19 last year and January 22 this year have shown that dust began to cover the surface as time passed. "So far everything looks safe and sound, but the dust could affect the power generation of the solar wings, as the dust ...
A rocket launching NASA's Parker Solar Probe. The exact science of how data is stored and interpreted in these radio waves can be extremely complicated, but for our purposes, just know that information can be transmitted via radio waves. That includes sound, visuals, sequences, and more. Tha...
Solar cooling converts heat from the sun into cooling that can be used in data center air cooling systems. The system collects solar power and uses a thermally driven cooling process to decrease the air temperature in a building. This is useful in areas with a lot of sunlight or for...
