Learn how nitrogen and helium end up in lunar soil, and why this helps us understand planetary habitability.

This follows a strong solar flare produced on Dec. 6, which came from sunspot 4299 and was an M8-class event, nearly the top ...

Scientists find that interplanetary shocks which strike Earth’s magnetic field head-on cause more powerful ground-level electric currents, threatening pipelines and submarine cables Auroras have ...

Virtually moonless night skies will create perfect conditions — if skies are clear — for a possible geomagnetic storm on ...

Since 1611, humans have recorded the comings and goings of black spots on the sun. The number of these sunspots waxes and wanes over approximately an 11-year cycle — more sunspots generally mean more ...

Samples reveal evidence of changes experienced by the surface of asteroid Ryugu, some probably due to micrometeoroid bombardment. Samples reveal evidence of changes experienced by the surface of ...
