The age-old mystery of why otherwise healthy dolphins, whales and porpoises get stranded along coasts worldwide deepens: After a collaboration between NASA scientists and marine biologists, new research suggests...

In addition to monitoring weather on Earth, the GOES-R satellites will monitor weather in space caused by electromagnetic radiation and charged particles released from solar storms on the Sun. Many people rely on space weather data,...

Launched ten years ago, on Oct. 25, 2006, the twin spacecraft of NASA’s STEREO mission – short for Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory – have given us unprecedented views of the sun, including the first-ever...

Scientists are starting to understand how solar storms use currents in Earth’s magnetic shield to land some punches.

Should we be concerned about solar storms in 2012? Heliophysicist Alex Young from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center sorts out truth from fiction. <b<b<br/>r/>r/>

Take a closer look at the flare that erupted on March 6, 2012.





This movie of the March 6, 2012 X5.4 flare was captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in the 171 and 131 Angstrom wavelength. One of the...

Sunspots have fascinated sky gazers through the ages. Now state-of-the art telescopes combined with the muscle of a supercomputer called ""Bluefire"" are allowing scientists to accurately model these mysterious structures, and unlock...

Scientists say they’re finding clues that support a theory that the early moon and Earth’s magnetospheres combined <br/>

Ongoing geomagnetic storms have led to sightings of the Northern Lights across North America this week, the result of a coronal mass ejection from the Sun that occurred on Sunday, sending a stream of charged particles toward Earth.

A massive solar storm in the year has helped prove the Vikings had crossed the Atlantic Ocean and settled in Canada by A.D. 1021.

In this video, we explore the weather in space, focusing on the sun and its impact on Earth. We learn about solar wind, auroras, solar storms, and their effects on our communication systems and astronauts in space. The video highlights...
