A wearable radiation protection system tested during NASA’s Artemis I mission has shown that astronauts may be able to move ...

A new study suggests a protective vest tested on a manikin during NASA's first Artemis moonshot could slash the radiation exposure of lunar astronauts during severe solar storms.

In March 2025, NASA launched the Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission in an effort to better understand solar weather. It consists of a constellation of four microsatellites ...

With modern society increasingly dependent on space-based infrastructure, this has created a new vulnerability to the most ...

Astronomers found evidence that solar storms and dust storms magnify heat synergistically on Mars, by as much as 90 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius).

Why it matters: A vest tested during NASA's Artemis I mission could reduce astronauts' radiation exposure during major solar storms, according to a new study. The findings show how targeted shielding ...

New research challenges the long-held idea of “geomagnetic saturation,” suggesting Earth’s response to powerful solar storms may continue increasing instead of reaching a natural upper limit.

The northern lights could mean lights out for the infrastructure we rely on.
