Using data collected by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its closest approach to the sun, a University of Arizona-led research team has measured the dynamics and ever-changing "shell" of hot gas from ...

The mystery of why the Sun’s outer atmosphere is far hotter than its surface has long puzzled scientists. The solar corona reaches temperatures of over a million degrees Celsius, while the surface ...

Researchers used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and track how energy moves within it. The work could improve understanding of basic mechanisms behind phenomena such as ...

SpaceX is preparing to launch three spacecraft on a first-of-its-kind mission to study the sun's influence throughout the solar system, from Earth's atmosphere to the edge of interstellar space. A ...

Simulations reveal that Jupiter’s rapid growth disrupted the early solar system, creating rings where new planetesimals formed much later than expected. These late-forming bodies match the ages and ...
