Earth Getting Brighter Each Year, But Changes Uneven Across Regions: Study
This result is similar to an earlier 2017 study, which found that artificially lit outdoor areas were growing by about 2% each year.

NASA Captures Comet Disintegrating Near Sun During Close Flyby
On April 4, comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) moved toward the Sun, passing at a distance about twice as far from the Sun as the Moon is from Earth.

Scientists Challenge Black Hole Theory, Say Dark Matter Core May Lie At Centre Of Milky Way
Lead author Valentina Crespi explained that this dense dark matter core could bend light so strongly that it creates a dark region in the centre.

Study Reveals March Equinox "Effect" And Solar Activity Boost Chances Of Seeing Northern Lights
According to NASA, the solar cycle is a natural process of the Sun, in which the Sun goes through periods of increased and decreased activity approximately every 11 years.

NASA’s Carruthers Observatory Begins Mission to Study Earth’s Hydrogen Halo
NASA’s Carruthers Observatory has begun its two-year science mission to study Earth’s hydrogen-rich exosphere from a halo orbit at Sun–Earth L1. Equipped with ultraviolet cameras, the small satellite will continuously image the faint geocorona, tracking how solar storms and fast solar wind streams cause the upper atmosphere to expand, contrac...

NASA Shares Photo Of Dazzling Green Auroras Captured From Space Station
According to NASA, auroras are produced when charged particles from the Sun collide with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.

Study Reveals Why Some Auroras Have Breathtaking Wave Patterns
Increased solar wind and coronal mass ejections can lead to more intense and dynamic auroras.

NASA’s GNEISS Mission Will Map Electric Currents Behind the Aurora
NASA’s GNEISS mission will launch from Alaska in early 2026 to probe the electric currents that drive auroras. Two rockets will fly through glowing auroral arcs, releasing sub-payloads whose radio signals act like a CT scan. By mapping electron density and direction, scientists aim to improve space weather forecasting and better protect satellite...

Rare Blood-Red Aurora Lights Up Ladakh Sky After Powerful Solar Storm Strikes Earth
A powerful geomagnetic storm triggered by a fast coronal mass ejection from the Sun produced rare red aurora over Hanle, Ladakh, on January 1920, captured by the Indian Astronomical Observatory.
