What knocked this black hole over onto its side? It's a cosmic "whodunnit" that NASA scientists using the Hubble and Chandra space telescopes are trying to solve.

Early on Christmas Eve in 2024, a NASA craft swooped at blazing speed through the sun's atmosphere.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe flew closer to the sun than any human-made object ever — a stunning technological feat that scientists liken to the historic Apollo moon landing in 1969.

During this approach, the spacecraft will dive through plumes of plasma still attached to the Sun. According to NASA, this is close enough to pass inside a solar eruption, similar to a surfer duck-diving under an ocean wave. Scientists will be unable to ...

At 3.8 million miles from the Sun's surface, Parker Solar Probe will be the closest a human-made object's ever been to our host star.

New analysis techniques and decades-old research helped NASA scientists identify an unusual black hole in a distant galaxy.

NASA's pioneering Parker Solar Probe made history Tuesday, flying closer to the sun than any other spacecraft, with its heat shield exposed to scorching temperatures topping 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit (930 degrees Celsius).

Reproduction of the image of a black hole THE black holes they have always been among the most unusual and fascinating “objects” in the universe. Despite the vast scientific literature, they are mysterious

Our sun is far from the flawless orb of light we see in the sky. Spacecraft observations have long shown that, up close, the "surface" of our star rumbles with powerful eddies and

The mission control team is eagerly awaiting a signal from Parker on December 27, which will confirm the spacecraft's successful completion of the flyby and its continued operation.

NASA scientists launched the Parker Solar Probe on what they call “a mission to touch the sun.” Since then, the spacecraft has looped around our star 21 times, with the research team nudging the craft’s orbit ever closer to the solar surface.
