NASA’s innovative EZIE mission is set to revolutionize our understanding of auroral electrojets by mapping the magnetic fingerprints of Earth’s dazzling auroras, paving the way for improved space weather forecasts and enhanced protection for critical infrastructure.

Recent surges in auroral activity are being driven by an active solar cycle and the rise of high-quality smartphone photography, making the northern lights more visible—and more widely shared—than ever before.

NASA's groundbreaking mission to capture the Sun in 3D will feature stunning images of a solar eclipse, offering unprecedented insights into solar dynamics and enhancing our understanding of space weather.

Imagine a world where rivers vaporize into screaming storms each morning, only to freeze into glass-like plains by nightfall. Astronomers have discovered TOI-715b—a super-Earth caught in a gravitational waltz so extreme, it redefines what “habitable” even means. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the cutting edge of cosmic reality.

Astronomers have detected enigmatic chirping signals, known as 'chorus waves,' emanating from regions far beyond Earth's magnetosphere, challenging previous understandings of their origins.

A colossal coronal hole on the sun is sending powerful solar winds toward Earth, potentially igniting spectacular auroral displays on January 4 and 5.
