Weather on Earth can be wild, but it's not the only kind of weather we have to deal with. Space weather — all the winds and particles streaming off the sun — can have major impacts on Earth and human ...

To help us predict these space storms, astronomers have a newly improved space weatherman — and it's the best one to date. The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), perched atop the Hawaiian ...

The sharpest images ever captured of the sun reveal intricate magnetic structures dancing across its surface. The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, located on the ...

Astronomers suspect there is at least one other star interacting with the material cast off by the central dying star in NGC 6072, creating the abnormal appearance of this planetary nebula. Credit: ...
