The Sun's activity is what gives us beautiful auroras — but it also has dramatic negative effects on satellites that go around Earth in a low orbit. In early November, three tiny Australian ...

Another fact that supports my idea is the strange orbit this satellite is in. KH-11s are launched into Sun Synchronous orbits ...

In the meantime, the sun will keep climbing toward solar maximum in 2025. But even after that peak, it doesn’t mean satellites and astronauts are out of the woods as far as solar storms are ...

Solar storms have also been linked to exploding sea mines and destroyed Starlink satellites. Why experts think solar maximum will hit soon When the sun's magnetic field is weak, its surface gets a ...

The Solar Ultraviolet Imager, or SUVI, onboard NOAA's GOES-19 satellite ... which can be seen in the lower half of the sun in the 131 Å channel animation above. This was the most powerful ...

In the above animation, the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn are shown orbiting the barycentre of our solar system. The barycentre is ...

Forecasters will soon be able to see real-time mapping of lightning activity on Earth and keep a closer eye on solar storms unleashed by the sun thanks to a new weather satellite. Together ...

“By studying the sun corona, we can better predict space weather and extreme geomagnetic storms, which can cause major disruptions to satellites and systems on Earth,” the ESA said in a recent ...

For now, ESA’s Proba-3 will prepare for its research campaign—tethered by lasers in a Kubrickian waltz, getting ready to stare straight into the Sun. Constellation ESA Low Earth orbit satellites ...

Two satellites will fly in precision formation, producing hours–long solar eclipses to reveal the secrets of the Sun's atmosphere. A pair of satellites just launched into space that may help ...
