NASA's Parker Solar Probe Reveals Sun's Powerful Eruptions And Mysterious Energy Return
Nour Rawafi, a project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, explained that there had been previous indications that solar material could return in this way, but seeing it so clearly was truly remarkable.

Planet-Eating Stars Offer a Glimpse Into Earth’s Fate as the Sun Nears Its Final Stages
Astronomers studying aging Sun-like stars have found strong evidence that stars consume their closest planets as they evolve. Using data from NASA’s TESS mission, researchers observed fewer planets around older stars, suggesting worlds are destroyed over time. The findings offer a realistic preview of Earth’s fate billions of years from now.

NASA’s PUNCH Watches Comet Lemmon Respond to the Sun’s Powerful Influence
NASA’s PUNCH mission has captured striking views of Comet Lemmon as it passed close to the Sun in late 2025. The observations show how solar wind and eruptions reshape a comet’s tail, sometimes causing it to break and regrow. The images provide valuable insight into how solar activity affects objects across the inner solar system.

NASA’s PUNCH Mission Provides First Continuous Views of Solar Eruptions Across Space
NASA’s PUNCH mission released images tracking solar eruptions from the Sun’s corona into interplanetary space. The data reveals CMEs and solar wind dynamics and supports better space weather forecasting for Earth and beyond.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Observes Solar Wind Making ‘U-Turn’, Shedding Light on Space Weather
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured solar wind reversing toward the sun, revealing how magnetic fields recycle coronal material. This process, seen during a close flyby, helps refine models of space weather and may allow scientists to better predict solar storms that can impact satellites, communications, and power systems across the solar system.

Massive Sunspot Complex on the Sun Raises Risk of Strong Solar Storms
A massive sunspot complex has appeared on the Sun, covering an area comparable to the legendary Carrington Event region. Known as AR 4294-96, the active cluster features highly tangled magnetic fields that could unleash powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and global communications if Earth-d...

Mysterious Tail Of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Could Be "Swarm Of Objects", Says Harvard Scientist
The objects could be rocky fragments, structures formed during interstellar travel, or something entirely different.

Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) Breaks Into Three Pieces Following Close Approach to the Sun
NASA's fractured comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) dazzled stargazers on Monday night, offering a rare live view of a cosmic object breaking apart after a close encounter with the Sun. The livestream, organised by the Virtual Telescope Project, began at 10 p.m. EST on November 24 (0300 GMT on November 25) and will broadcast telescopic views of the comet's mu...

NASA's Astronomers Reveal Red Giant Stars May Destroy Their Own Planets
This extreme expansion poses a serious threat to nearby planets. For example, when the Sun becomes a red giant in about 5 billion years, it will likely swallow Mercury and Venus.

Mystery Deepens as Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Brightens Unexpectedly Near the Sun
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS defied expectations during its 2025 solar flyby, brightening far faster than predicted. Observatories worldwide recorded a blue coma rich in exotic gases, suggesting unique chemistry from another star system. Scientists are investigating whether its unusual composition or speed caused the outburst, marking a new interste...

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Brightens And Turns Blue, Here's What Scientists Say
NASA has clarified that Comet 3I/ATLAS poses no threat to Earth and will remain at a safe distance.

New Images of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Show a Giant Jet Shooting Toward the Sun
New telescope images show interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS ejecting a giant jet of gas and dust toward the Sun. Scientists say the phenomenon confirms its natural cometary behaviour, offering clues about how such ancient interstellar visitors react to solar heat.
