Scientists are using the images and data collected by the probe to understand the sun’s impact on Earth and the solar system.

On its record-breaking pass by the Sun late last year, the Johns Hopkins APL-built Parker Solar Probe captured stunning images from within the Sun’s atmosphere. Taken closer to the Sun than we’ve ever ...

The researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to probe the chemical make-up of material around the star, and found the ...

Spacecraft and specialized telescopes have been studying the sun closely for decades, probing the secrets of its spots, ...

Venera 8 was one of a pair of Venus atmospheric lander probes designed for the spring 1972 launch window. The other mission, Kosmos-482, failed to leave Earth orbit.

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter, which launched in 2020 from Cape Canaveral, captured the first-ever images of the sun's south pole.

The images have already been a boon for heliophysicists, showing turbulent magnetic activity at the south pole as the sun ramps up to the most active phase of its natural cycle.
