The images, combined into a video, reveal a faint glow from the surface.

The new milestone.

NASA's Parker Solar probe has completed swing by the Sun with an impressive and space record speed that will take under an hour to reach the moon from the Earth.

Physicists describe the sun's electric field.

An unprecedented peek at Venus' dust ring.

A striking image of the planet’s nightside from 7,693 miles away.

A search that could help to reveal how planets like Earth come into being.

This flyby will also be the first time that the probe will pass within 0.1 AU of the sun.

On May 9, 2020, Parker Solar Probe started its longest science observation campaign. The probe activated its at a distance of 62.5 million miles...

Solar Orbiter will address big questions in Solar System science to help us understand how our star creates and controls the giant bubble of plasma that surrounds the whole Solar System and influences the planets within it. It is an ESA mission with strong NASA participation.

The probe’s heat shield reached new record temperatures as well.

This first data from Parker reveals our star, the Sun, in new and surprising ways.
