Solar wind sounds poetic, but it's a very real and powerful phenomenon, connecting the Sun to every part of our solar system. Unlike the wind we feel on Earth, solar wind isn't moving air; it's a ...

Using data collected by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its closest approach to the sun, a University of Arizona-led research team has measured the dynamics and ever-changing "shell" of hot gas from ...

Close to the sun, the solar wind, a steady stream of charged particles, accelerates until it cannot turn back. During a record pass about 3.8 million miles above the surface, Parker Solar Probe ...

Every day on Earth, you experience weather. You feel the wind blowing and see clouds move across the sky. Sometimes there are storms where the wind gets really strong, it might rain, or there might be ...

Yeimy J. Rivera receives funding from NASA's Parker Solar Probe project through the SAO/SWEAP subcontract 975569. Tatiana Niembro receives funding from NASA's Parker Solar Probe project through the ...

Mars's atmosphere and climate are impacted by interactions with solar wind, a stream of plasma comprised of protons and electrons that flows from the sun's outermost atmosphere (corona), traveling at ...

Wind energy infrastructure doesn’t produce power if the air isn’t moving, and solar doesn’t generate power if the sun’s not out. But that doesn’t mean that either source of energy is "worthless" ...

‘Homegrown energy sources, such as wind and solar, take on more strategic value in a world faced by frequent crises,’ explained Dr Chris Rosslowe. Image: Arno Senoner, Unsplash. Expanded ...

Saudi researchers outlined pathways for Saudi Arabia to reach net-zero power sector emissions by 2060, requiring up to 3.6% of land - mostly for onshore wind - with 151.3 GW of solar PV covering only ...
