Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ...
The largest solar storm in two decades hit Earth in May 2024. For several days, wave after wave of high-energy charged ...
A NASA satellite that suddenly reappeared after going silent gets credit for the remarkable discovery—a pair of temporary ...
Amid a steady stream of galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles raining down on planes, the higher altitude and latitude of flights, the higher radiation doses for crew and passengers.
MAVEN "observes radiation, solar particles and more from high above ... a process that could affect whether signs of ancient microbial life are preserved there," said a NASA statement.
Silicon solar cells used on Earth rapidly degrade when exposed to the harsh radiation of space. Alternatively, gallium-arsenide solar cells are used today on satellites and spacecraft for the ...
induce dangerous currents in power grids and increase the radiation exposure of astronauts. Solar flares are sudden, intense bursts of energy—often in the form of X-rays and ultraviolet light ...
