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.

Over the next few months a major dust storm is expected to entirely engulf Mars. By studying past weather patterns, scientists can now more accurately predict these global storms

When the asteroid struck Earth, most of the energy from the impact was directed outwards and upwards. Only 1 percent traveled down into the ground, but it caused seismic waves to radiate through the Earth.

Amelia Earhart may have died as a castaway, instead of in a plane crash, a new discovery shows.

To protect Earth from impacts, we may have to push and redirect asteroids. In this experiment scientists see if they can shoot an asteroid without destroying it. A nudge of a few centimeters is all we need to potentially save Earth.

A small telescope named Project Blue is due to launch to explore to our neighboring star system Alpha Centuari.

After searching all day in Poland, meteorite hunters find two stones that may be fragments of a famous meteorite.

Nasa is launching six satellites so small that you can hold them in your hand. These satellites will monitor the Earth to help scientists better understand our home planet.

No, asteroids and meteors are not the same thing. Even meteors and meteroids are not the same!

Good luck Peggy Whitson of NASA, Oleg Novitskiy of Roscosmos and Thomas Pesquet of the ESA.

Scientists have accidentally discovered how to convert a greenhouse gas into ethanol, a cleaner burning fuel.

Science Channel presents Mission Jupiter, revealing the amazing and extreme journey of the one-of-a-kind, armored spacecraft Juno as NASA scientists prepare to place it in orbit around the massive gas planet Jupiter.

Exercising when you're upset may not be a good idea. Intense workouts intended to blow off steam may double your chance of a heart attack.

NASA's Juno spacecraft will orbit Jupiter for about two years before scientists destroy it. They're destroying it in order to avoid contamination on Jupiter's moon Europa, which could have life.

Not only can this fungus survive radiation, it thrives off of gamma rays. It even took a trip to the ISS recently.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, and it also spins the fastest.

In order to extract the gold, scientists must dunk the circuit boards into acid and add a water based compound.
