A NASA mission, IMAP, and two more spacecraft that will study space weather are traveling through space atop a single SpaceX ...

The spacecraft will study the solar system's edge, magnetic fields in interplanetary space, and remnants of exploded stars.

IMAP mission will explore our solar system's protective heliosphere and will also help us develop a better understanding of ...

The formation of planets is not completely understood, but it is believed that it is not just gravity pulling matter together. Magnetism in the protoplanetary disk, too, is seen as a player in the ...

Most of that brightness increase has been in the green part of the visible light spectrum, suggesting a “surge of gas production as the comet nears the Sun,” according to SpaceWeather. “The key ...

The NASA Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) spacecraft is scheduled to launch on September 23, 2025, to study ...

After five months of silence, NASA’s Voyager 1 is once again transmitting data from the edge of interstellar space. In an ...

IMAP (short for "Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe") is the primary payload on today's flight. The roughly $600 ...

The sun has become more and more active over the last 16 years, in a turn that surprised scientists and could affect space ...

While making a death-defying dive through the sun’s atmosphere, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly recorded a powerful plasma explosion heading toward our star’s surface in unprecedented detail.

Magnetosheath jets are fast plasma streams that form in the region between a planet’s magnetic field and the solar wind, the stream of charged particles that come from the Sun. It’s an area of ...

Solar wind generated by the sun is probably driven by a process involving powerful magnetic fields, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers based on the latest ...
