NASA has launched Surya, its new heliophysics artificial intelligence foundation model to empower solar scientists with tools to enhance research and space weather forecasting. Southwest Research Institute's Dr. Andrés Muñoz-Jaramillo ...
During a solar eclipse, astronomers who study heliophysics are able to study the sun's corona—its outer atmosphere—in ways they are unable to do at any other time.
NASA's Athena Economical Payload Integration Cost mission, or Athena EPIC, is a test launch for an innovative, scalable space vehicle design to support future missions. The small satellite platform is engineered to share ...
An unexpectedly strong solar storm rocked our planet on April 23, 2023, sparking auroras as far south as southern Texas in the U.S. and taking the world by surprise.
Antennas installed at 18 U.S. high schools detected bursts of radio activity that can precede solar disturbances capable of disrupting satellites and power grids on Earth. The observations helped researchers understand solar ...
Southwest Research Institute has delivered the novel Compact Dual Ion Composition Experiment (CoDICE) instrument for final integration into NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) spacecraft. Scheduled to ...
President Donald Trump has proposed the single largest year-over-year cut to NASA's budget in his 2026 budget proposal, essentially terminating many of the space agency's most promising missions.
Local weather alerts are familiar warnings for potentially dangerous conditions, but an alert that puts all of Earth on warning is rare.
A trio of heliophysicists and satellite trackers at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Goddard Planetary Heliophysics Institute at the University of Maryland has found evidence showing that Starlink satellites reenter ...
In the world of black holes, there are generally three size categories: stellar-mass black holes (about five to 50 times the mass of the sun), supermassive black holes (millions to billions of times the mass of the sun), ...
