Space Hurricane

The term 'Space Hurricane' may sound terrifying but it is related to a beautiful natural phenomenon that we all know and love- Auroras. A new study now reveals more details about this overlooked phenomenon, including when and why they occur.

NASA on Wednesday successfully launched its Artemis I Moon rocket, the first step in an an ambitious plan by the US space agency to send humans back to the Moon. NASA hopes to build a sustained presence -- including a lunar space station -- to help prepare for an eventual mission to Mars.

NASA's Artemis I Moon rocket is scheduled to launch on November 16, and the countdown for the maiden flight of the orange and white behemoth has begun at the Kennedy Space Center. The Artemis 1 mission, a test flight without astronauts, represents the first step in the US space agency's plan to build a lasting presence on the Moon, and taking lesso...

NASA rolled out its largest-ever rocket, Space Launch System (SLS), to a launch pad in Florida on Friday and will try again 10 days from now to blast off on a much-delayed uncrewed mission Artemis I to the Moon. After two launch attempts were scrubbed this summer because of technical problems, the rocket returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building ...

American space agency NASA has shared a footage of Hurricane Ian on its official Instagram page.

NASA on Tuesday said it will be "difficult" to make its third attempt at launching its Artemis I Moon rocket in October. The US space agency said that the next possible launch windows are from October 17 to 31, then from November 12 to 27. Meanwhile, NASA has also moved the powerful SLS rocket to its storage hangar in order to protect it from the a...

NASA's Artemis 1 rocket -- waiting to blast off on a delayed mission to the Moon -- will be rolled back into its storage hangar Monday night, the space agency said, as Florida braces for Hurricane Ian.

Two small NASA satellites that were meant to study hurricane development failed to enter orbit Sunday when their Astra rocket shut off before reaching the necessary altitude, the US space agency said.

NASA on Wednesday shared a stunning image, captured from space, of the 2019 Hurricane Dorian to mark the beginning of the Atlantic hurricane season. In a long Instagram post, the American space agency explained through five pointers how it is preparing to weather the hurricane season this year.

The first US astronauts to reach the International Space Station on an American spacecraft in nearly a decade might not come home this weekend as scheduled because of Hurricane Isaias, NASA said Friday.

The source of all light and life on Earth is also the source of one of its biggest natural threats: space weather. The sun's atmosphere regularly erupts with fast-moving flashes of protons and explosions of energetic particles that can hit Earth within minutes and disrupt radio communication, interfere with GPS and fry the electric grid. A "worst c...

As Hurricane Harvey pelted Houston with heavy rains over the weekend, a local television news station broadcast footage of flood evacuees sitting outside the George R. Brown Convention Center. The people weren't waiting for space inside what would become a massive emergency shelter. They were choosing to remain outdoors because their pets were not ...

After a weekend of bruising winds and relentless rain, Houston's rising floodwaters reached the gates of Johnson Space Center on Sunday.

A "next generation" US weather satellite that was rocketed into space from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 6:42 pm EST on Saturday (5.12 am Sunday, India time) is on its way to sharpen forecasts, watches and warnings about hurricanes and storms, NASA said.

The eyewall of Hurricane Gonzalo made a direct hit on Bermuda on Friday evening pounding the Bermuda coast with high waves, driving rain and gusting winds, becoming the strongest storm to hit the tiny Atlantic island chain in a decade, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
