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.

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.

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Rare Protostar Blasting Twin Jets Across Milky Way
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a rare protostar about ten times the Sun’s mass blasting twin jets nearly eight light-years long. The beams carve through the glowing Sharpless 2-284 nebula, offering astronomers a vivid glimpse into how massive stars form and shape their galactic environment.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Captures Lobster Nebula’s Towering Spires and Massive Stars
NASA’s Webb Telescope imaged the Lobster Nebula (NGC 6357), 5,500 light-years away. Its young star cluster, Pismis 24, contains giant stars carving glowing gas pillars. Pismis 24-1, once thought to be one supermassive star, is a triple system with stars up to 74 times the Sun’s mass.

NASA’s Parker Probe Sends Closest-Ever Images from Inside the Sun’s Corona
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has achieved a solar milestone by capturing the closest-ever images of the Sun, taken just 3.8 million miles from its surface in December 2024. These WISPR images reveal unprecedented details of the corona, solar wind, and CME collisions. Scientists say this breakthrough will improve our ability to forecast space weather...

NASA CODEX Telescope on ISS Reveals Hidden Secrets of the Sun’s Corona
NASA has introduced CODEX, a cutting-edge mini solar telescope attached to the International Space Station, which is offering groundbreaking observations of the Sun's corona. Unlike past instruments, CODEX can measure both temperature and speed of solar wind particles. This innovation aims to improve our understanding of solar weather, especially a...

Partial Solar Eclipse of March 2025: Satellite Images to Show Moon’s Shadow
A partial solar eclipse will take place on March 29, 2025, visible across parts of Europe, Africa, and North America. The event will reach its peak in Nunavik, Canada, where 94% of the sun will be covered at sunrise. From space, weather satellites like GOES-16 and Himawari will capture images of the moon’s shadow. The International Space Station ...

NASA’s PUNCH Mission Set to Track the Sun’s Corona and Solar Wind in 3D
NASA’s PUNCH mission, set for launch on Feb 27, will deploy four satellites to study the transition between the sun’s corona and the solar wind. The mission aims to improve understanding of space weather by capturing 3D images, helping predict solar storms with greater accuracy. The data will also complement NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, offerin...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Makes Final Venus Flyby Before Historic Sun Encounter
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018, will make its final Venus flyby on Nov. 6. This manoeuvre will bring the spacecraft into a new orbit, allowing it to approach within 3.8 million miles of the sun, closer than any human-made object has been. While the probe’s primary mission is to study the sun, its instruments have captured rare data...
