The European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft has flown through an S-shaped kink known as a ‘switchback’ in the solar wind’s magnetic field. By fingerprinting the elusive particles within the switchback, Solar Orbiter has traced its origin back to the Sun’s surface and revealed more about solar magnetism – the unruly instigator of dangerous solar storms.
Researchers have quantified diffusion and scattering within Solar Orbiter's Extreme Ultraviolet High-Resolution Imager, improving the precision and clarity of solar observations.
Launched on October 16, 1975, the first GOES satellite, developed jointly by NASA and NOAA, ushered in a new era of continuous monitoring for both Earth and space weather.
The International Space Station is boosting its power infrastructure using next-generation roll-out solar arrays. This upgrade supports critical life support systems and deep space research.
Key viewing sites across southern Spain have been highlighted for the upcoming August 2, 2027 total solar eclipse. The totality path will span from the Costa del Sol coastline to scenic mountain villages.
