The Sun

The Sun is the harbinger of life on Earth, but we understand so little of our nearest star. The Sun occasionally gets very angry; it then unleashes massive solar storms that take down or burn satellites and electronic equipment on Earth.

The European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission is en route to India for a launch scheduled for December. This pioneering project involves two satellites designed to create artificial solar eclipses, allowing for extensive observation of the Sun’s corona. The spacecraft, developed with contributions from various European partners, is poised to offe...

South Korea’s Korea Aerospace Administration (KASA) is collaborating with NASA to send a solar coronagraph named CODEX to the International Space Station (ISS). Scheduled for launch aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, CODEX aims to observe the sun's corona and solar wind, providing vital data for understanding solar weather. This mission is part of ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has captured a rare astronomical event in which the Martian moon Phobos passed in front of the Sun, creating a visual reminiscent of a "googly eye." This event, observed from the Jezero Crater, provided insights into the dynamics of Mars' moons. Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons, obscured the Sun's disc for approximate...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has unveiled remarkable footage from the new Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), which is aboard the GOES-19 satellite. This advanced telescope captures charged particles and solar eruptions from the Sun’s corona, vital for monitoring solar activity as it approaches its peak in 2025. By blockin...

NASA's Perseverance rover recently captured a stunning solar eclipse on Mars, showcasing the moon Phobos as it partially blocked the sun. This remarkable event, photographed on September 30, 2024, was made possible by the rover's Left Mastcam-Z camera, which highlighted Phobos's irregular shape. Measuring about 17 miles long and orbiting Mars at a ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled Westerlund 1, the Milky Way’s largest super star cluster, located 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Ara. This massive cluster, with stars up to 2,000 times larger than the Sun, has a total mass between 50,000 to 100,000 times that of the Sun. Previously hidden by cosmic dust, Westerlun...

As the sun blazes down and summer outings become more frequent, one essential item can make a world of difference – an ice box. Explore the best discounts and make your next outdoor trip a cooler affair.

NASA and NOAA report that the Sun has reached its most active phase in the 11-year solar cycle, known as solar maximum. This period increases solar storms, affecting satellites, astronauts, and Earth's communication and power systems. While the exact peak won’t be confirmed for months, solar activity is expected to remain high for the next year.

Sun protection is crucial for maintaining healthy skin, especially in today's ever-changing environment. Keep yourself protected while enjoying the great outdoors and shop for the best sun protection products from Myntra.

A powerful G4-class solar storm, triggered by a coronal mass ejection from the sun, is causing breathtaking auroras in unusual regions. This geomagnetic event may disrupt power grids and communication systems while providing the chance for spectacular light displays across the northern half of the United States. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric...
