The "wall of plasma" feature matches a single-wavelength view of solar flares observed by NASA as part of its SDO data from May 20, 2024, which Frazier sent in a screenshot below: (Courtesy of ...

On Sept. 26, engineers issued the command to turn off the plasma science instrument. Sent by NASA's Deep Space Network, it took 19 hours to reach Voyager 2, and the return signal took another 19 ...

The plasma experiment had been gathering limited data. NASA expects the Voyager 2 spacecraft will continue operating with other experiments into the 2030s.

NASA has captured a dark plasma eruption on the sun that has a 60 percent chance of causing blackouts on Earth this week. The approximately 36,000 degrees-Fahrenheit (F) 'cold' solar flare is ...

Because of this inevitability, NASA decided it was time to scale back operations on Voyager 2 by shutting down its plasma science instrument. Doing so, however, took much longer than it does to ...

As I noted above, the Voyager 2 mission won’t be shuttered anytime soon. Despite NASA turning off the plasma science instrument, the probe still has four other operational instruments aboard it.

NASA released a new video of a spectacular solar sight that could impact Earth this weekend.The agency said the geomagnetic ...

NASA aims to send astronauts to Mars by the 2030s. But with current technology, the journey will be years long. That's why NASA invested in a new type of rocket that could shorten the trip to just ...

NASA and the European Space Agency created the above timelapse video of R Aquarii using Hubble images that spanned 2014 to 2023. This thermonuclear explosion is called a "nova" — not to be ...

Engineers and technicians work on deploying and stowing stationary plasma thrusters on NASA's Psyche spacecraft before its launch in 2023. Two plasma engines are visible here mounted to a dual ...

Stellar-mass and supermassive black hole coronas have some similarities, and this is great news for black hole physicists.

The plasma experiment had been gathering limited data. NASA expects the Voyager 2 spacecraft will continue operating with other experiments into the 2030s.
