Scientists have identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun. These definitive observations were made by instruments aboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which detected the powerful ...

The wind blowing out from the surface of the Sun is a stream of charged particles that spreads throughout the solar system. However, its speed is not always the same: the fastest streams of ...

The sun doesn't just shine—it blows. A relentless stream of charged particles, known as the solar wind, surges outward at hundreds of kilometers per second, drenching Earth and the entire solar ...

A wind advisory is in effect Monday for west winds of 15 to 25 mph gusting up to 55 mph through 7 p.m., according to the weather service. "Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects.

NASA's PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission, which will study origins of the Sun's outflow of material, or the solar wind, also will ride to space with the telescope.

SpaceX is set to launch 4 people on a first-of-its-kind mission around Earth’s poles. Here’s what to know Trump’s biggest round of tariffs is coming next week. Here is how it could shake up ...

These magnetic bubbles shield the planets against solar wind, a stream of energetic particles and gas that ... showed that Uranus experienced a rare cosmic occurrence just before the flyby.

As distant stars explode, they expel large amounts of radiation into interstellar space in the form of highly energized particles known as cosmic rays ... how the solar wind reaches the Earth.

The most abundant, lowest-energy cosmic rays consist of particles of solar wind that rain down on Earth’s atmosphere after spiralling in the planet’s magnetic field. Cosmic rays of much higher ...

First discovered in 1912, cosmic rays can hit our planet with staggering energies reaching 10²⁰ electronvolts (eV). That's way more energetic than the particles accelerated at the Large Hadron ...

Astronomers have seen unique, incredibly high-energy particles descend to earth, which are cosmic rays bearing the name of the Japanese sun goddess Amaterasu and are among the highest-energy ones ...

To reach this conclusion, scientists studied millions of data points captured by a cosmic ray detector on the ISS. The most energetic particles in the universe appear to emerge from sources within ...
