The sun’s atmosphere, known as the corona, is millions of degrees hotter than its surface, and scientists may have figured out why. A NASA spacecraft found evidence of “heat bombs” collectively heating up the atmosphere.

The Dark Side of the Sun premieres February 12th on Science Channel.

In 2018 the Solar Probe Plus launches. It will orbit 4 million miles above the sun.

The sun is an amazing celestial object. Here are some amazing facts about the sun you may not know about!

Sometime’s the Sun’s magnetic field becomes unstable and creates sun spots.

Happy Pi Day!

Solar wind is a constant emission from the Sun that sweeps out into the Solar System. It’s made of particles and plasma.

The Sun’s Coronal Mass Ejections not only reach Earth, but should also cat us a lot of money.

Like Earth, space experiences dynamic, powerful weather.

A look at the upcoming missions that will take space exploration to new heights!

Medical progress came in many forms this year, from nanotechnology and bio printing organs leading the charge to the first successful human trials for CRISPR.

From reusable rockets to robotics, engineers began shaping a future in 2016 that most of us cannot yet dream of.

2016 saw technology changing the way we interact with our world with new innovations like autonomous vehicles and virtual reality.

A look back at two of the biggest news headlines from 2016: Gravitational waves and Proxima b.

Cocaine might give users a buzz, but it could also be making brain cells eat themselves, according to new research.

The mosquito-borne flavivirus, Zika, is being linked to microcephaly in newborns in South and Central America. Microcephaly causes smaller than average head sizes which impacts brain development.

Guion Stewart Bluford first flew into orbit as a crew member on the 8th Space Shuttle. His mission included experiments focused largely on the affects of space travel on the human body.

For the first time, scientists have pinned down a molecular process in the brain that helps trigger schizophrenia. This new genetic pathway probably reveals what goes wrong neurologically in a young person diagnosed with the disorder.

A new study suggests a canyon system twice the length of the Grand Canyon could be buried beneath an ice sheet in Antarctica.

A stunning NASA animation has captured magnetic field activity on the sun from 2011 to 2013, displaying it through multi-coloured moving lines. Magnetic field lines are essentially invisible, and interact with each other when the sun rotates.

Einstein was right, gravitational waves do exist! Find out how scientists made the historic discovery!

Japanese start-up ‘Hoshinchu’ creates floating bonsai trees through use of repelling magnets to make the miniature plants levitate.

Galileo Galilei was an astronomer, physicist, mathematician, inventor, and philosopher who discovered four of Jupiter's largest moons and that the universe does not revolve around Earth.

A team of astronomers has detected signs of a black hole with a mass of 100,000 times that of our Sun around the center of the Milky Way. This would be the second largest black hole in the galaxy.
