Life on Earth has always been shaped by other bodies in space, and life in our oceans is especially susceptible to interactions that have huge effects on life as we know it!

A glowing, purple ribbon of light named STEVE is weirder than we thought and we now have evidence that there is water ice on the moon!

Space weather can have a major effect on the technology we rely on. And a large solar flare could cause the most significant weather threat because so much of essential services are powered by a functioning electrical grid and a...

Storms are a regular occurrence throughout the solar system, and they can get Big. So what are the largest ones we've ever observed?

In this final segment of our journey through the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, we explore two awe-inspiring sights: the towering Mount Everest and the dazzling Aurora Borealis. Learn about the challenges faced by climbers...

Brit looks back on our eleventh month on Nature League, when we explored the theme of rhythms.

This week on Nature League, Brit explores the rhythms of life on Earth by interviewing Dr. Mark Reiser about solar and lunar cycles.

Does the light take a long time to reach earth? Does ALMA help scientists view objects close to the Earth like the sun? Do they need big computers to run the telescope? <br/>
Discovery with the ALMA Telescope, Part 2

In this episode: Fertilizer from poultry waste, ancient shark in 3D, an intelligent desk, WIFIRE, solar superstorms, Alaska Fire and Ice, what you never learned about mass, and more!

In a flash, all of your electronics could be gone, and you'd be left thanking a solar storm. However, a collaboration of National Science Foundation-funded scientists has created groundbreaking visualizations to help scientists and...

An international science team says NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has observed high-energy light from solar eruptions located on the far side of the sun, which should block direct light from these events. This...

Ancient riverbeds, crater lakes and flood channels all attest to Mars's warm, watery past. So how did the Red Planet evolve from a once hospitable world into the cold, dry desert that we see today? One possibility is that Mars lost...

This short program overview for NASA's heliophysics division explains how NASA studies the sun--and more importantly--how it affects our daily lives.<b<br/>r/>

We are all familiar with weather on Earth, but how much do you know about weather in space? Suitable for all ages, this introduction to space weather covers vocabulary like coronal mass ejection (CME), solar wind, and solar flare....

NASA scientists answer some common questions about the sun, space weather, and how they affect the Earth. This is a two-part series.



Part Two

1. Do all flares and CM

Es affect the...

NASA Scientist Dr. Holly Gilbert discusses the upcoming launch and overview of the MMS Mission.<b<b<br/>r/>r/>

The sun erupted late on January 22, 2012 with an M8.7 class flare, an earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME), and a burst of fast moving, highly energetic protons known as a "solar energetic particle" event. The latter has caused...

Atmosphere Set: 3. This clip explains the formation of the Earth's auroras.

Researchers say the new finding could help predict periods of extreme solar storms.

During the total eclipse earlier this month sun-gazers could see the outer ring of the sun— and bright filaments leaping from it. If they escape the fiery body’s pull, they will form solar storms, and a lot of them are expected in 2024....
