The 'helicity barrier' has been directly confirmed, offering new insights into the heating and formation of the solar wind.

A study looking at data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe has found evidence for a "helicity barrier" in the atmosphere of the ...

Some coronal loops (pictured) on the sun may not be single strands of plasma but rather optical illusions caused by “wrinkles” in the solar atmosphere, a new study suggests.

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 Parker Solar Probe's first passage through the corona, which lasted a few hours, is one of many that are planned for the mission, according to NASA. The next flyby is expected to occur in January.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe survived the latest endeavor in its mission to “touch” the sun – flying just 3.8 million miles above the star’s surface – in its closest-ever approach on ...

Hidden lights on the sun could help crack solar atmosphere mystery. News. By Robert Lea published 19 February 2023 New X-ray observations of the sun could explain why its upper atmosphere is so hot.

The Earth's atmosphere is far more reactive to solar activity than scientists previously believed, with the new research showing it can pulse in near-synchronicity with the sun's powerful flares.

Scientists have explored the magnetic field in upper solar atmosphere by observing the polarization of ultraviolet light with the CLASP sounding rocket experiment during its 5-minute flight in ...
