Exoplanet Orbiting a White Dwarf Star Gives Researchers Hope That Earth Might Escape Its Eventual Death
A planetary system anchored by a white dwarf star, located approximately 4,000 light-years away, provides astronomers with insights into what could happen to our Sun and Earth in about 8 billion years. This scenario unfolds if the Earth survives the Sun's transformation into a red giant, expected to occur in 5 to 6 billion years.

NASA BioSentinel Investigates Space Radiation During Major Geomagnetic Storm on Earth
In May 2024, Earth experienced a magnificent geomagnetic storm, leading to dazzling auroras across the skies. During this event, NASA’s BioSentinel spacecraft collected essential data on solar radiation while orbiting the Sun over 30 million miles away. This research is vital for understanding the effects of radiation in deep space, especially as...

NASA Is Exploring Solar Sails to Propel Spacecrafts Through Space in Future
NASA is working towards exploring if solar sails could be a viable way for space-based travel. Solar sails are mirror-like devices mounted on spacecraft that capture the Sun's light. The captured light exerts radiation pressure on the sails and thus propels the spacecraft through the vacuum of space.
