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.

A team of astronomers used simulation models to conclude that Proxima b may be an ocean planet, with liquid water spanning its entire surface.

Many modern concretes can succumb to the elements in just 20 years, but this special mixture can last over 2,000 years. Gypsum and lime were used as binders, and the mixture commonly solidified underwater.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has begun a series of daring dives through Saturn's rings, the first step in the probe's "grand finale" investigation of the gas giant planet.

DNews explains how nanotechnology could soon be used to harvest the sun's energy through our homes' windows - without us even seeing it. That's a renewable energy win!

Scientists are engineering a robot ‘snake’ that can easily maneuver into hard-to-reach places, such as inside the human body.

Why do we have so many remotes? We've got a lesson in how remote controls work and why you probably have more than one. Throw in the Internet of Things however, and that could all change.

Turns out the more you lie, the less you feel guilty about it. After observing fMRI scans, scientists saw the amygdala, the region of the brain associated with emotion, light up when research participants were in scenarios where lying was beneficial.

NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has returned hundreds of incredible ultraviolet images of Mars’ "night glow."

Sounds simple - heat triggers a system of overhead tubes to drop water and douse a fire. The principle may be simple, but they can still be set up to respond to very different environments and fire threats.

On December 5, 1945 Flight 19 left Florida for a low level bombing exercise and were never seen again. Radio transmissions suggest the pilots became unexplainably lost and crashed, but no wreckage has ever been found.

Scientists have found frozen water just under the surface on Mars. It’s about the same volume as Lake Superior.

For decades people have claimed that ships will strangely disappear in the Bermuda Triangle area. While some want to believe there's some sort of supernatural force, scientists think methane may be the culprit.

The planet nearest to our sun is shrinking. In September, NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft sent back results that suggested Mercury was tectonically active, like Earth.

Perineal ice in our Arctic is so thick it should withstand the hot summers of our planet for up to 9 years. However, NASA’s animation showcases that perineal ice has continuously declined over the past 3 decades and now only 5% is left. 

Ryan and Dani visit Vancouver to shoot various locations. The variable weather will make flying the drones challenging, but Dani is totally stoked.

To prepare for her first official race, Dani tries on FPV goggles that take her through the course before she goes hands-on with her drone.
