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.

Venus' Winds Race Around The Planet At Extreme Speeds Due To Solar Heat
New findings suggest that diurnal tides, driven by solar heat, are a major contributor to the extreme speeds of Venus's winds.

Scientists Finally Identify What Drives Venus’s Fast Winds
A new study has identified the primary force behind Venus’s extreme superrotating atmosphere: a once-per-day thermal tide driven by solar heating. Using data from Venus Express and Akatsuki along with circulation models, researchers show that this daily tide transports most of the momentum that accelerates cloud-top winds to speeds over 100 metre...

Blue Origin Joins SpaceX in Orbital Booster Reuse Era With New Glenn’s Successful Launch and Landing
Blue Origin’s New Glenn successfully launched NASA’s ESCAPADE mission to Mars on November 13, 2025, marking its second flight and its first ocean booster landing on the ship Jacklyn. The mission deploys twin satellites built by Rocket Lab to study how the solar wind strips Mars’ atmosphere during a 22-month journey to the Red Planet.

Blue Origin Delays NASA Mars Launch Amid Weather and FAA Restrictions
Blue Origin has postponed the launch of NASA’s twin ESCAPADE Mars probes due to bad weather and new FAA restrictions on daytime launches during the U.S. government shutdown. The mission, now targeting Nov. 12, will study how solar wind stripped away Mars’s atmosphere. Blue Origin is seeking an FAA exemption to proceed with the launch.

NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission Will Send Twin Probes to Uncover Mars’s Atmospheric Secrets
NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will launch twin mini-satellites, Blue and Gold, to Mars aboard Blue Origin’s New Glenn. The probes will study how solar wind stripped away Mars’s atmosphere and water, helping scientists understand the Red Planet’s lost climate and its transformation into the dry world we see today.
