This technique, "Selective Amplification of Ultra Noisy Astronomical Signal" or "SAUNAS," teases out low-brightness X-ray emissions from NASA's powerful X-ray space telescope, revealing the strange X-shaped twin plasma plumes. This was odd because when ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the sun early Tuesday, getting within just 4% of the Earth-sun distance — a feat compared to the '69 moon landing.

New analysis techniques and decades-old research helped NASA scientists identify an unusual black hole in a distant galaxy.

The Parker probe was launched in 2018 as part of NASA’s Living With a Star program with the aim of “touching” the sun. It has circled the sun more than 20 times since to explore the flaming hot, outermost layer, the corona, which can uncover how the sun-earth system affects life and society.

Early on Christmas Eve in 2024, a NASA craft swooped at blazing speed through the sun's atmosphere.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is expected to make a fiery dive close to the solar surface on the morning of Christmas Eve.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe achieved the impossible – a closer encounter with the sun than any spacecraft in history. It plunged into the sun’s scorching outer atmosphere, the corona, flying through a distance of a mere 3.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe flew closer to the sun than any human-made object ever — a stunning technological feat that scientists liken to the historic Apollo moon landing in 1969.

Reproduction of the image of a black hole THE black holes they have always been among the most unusual and fascinating “objects” in the universe. Despite the vast scientific literature, they are mysterious

During this approach, the spacecraft will dive through plumes of plasma still attached to the Sun. According to NASA, this is close enough to pass inside a solar eruption, similar to a surfer duck-diving under an ocean wave. Scientists will be unable to ...

NASA's pioneering Parker Solar Probe made history Tuesday, flying closer to the sun than any other spacecraft, with its heat shield exposed to scorching temperatures topping 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit (930 degrees Celsius).

The Parker Solar Probe, traveling at 430,000 mph, reaches 3.8 million miles from the Sun. Scientists now wait for a signal and proof of life.
