NASA’s CODEX instrument was successfully installed outside of the International Space Station! CODEX is a solar coronagraph, which blocks out the bright light from the Sun’s surface to better see details in the Sun’s outer atmosphere, or corona. Learn more:

2/3 In the same briefing, scientists also presented new images from NASA’s PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission, launched in March 2025. PUNCH’s four satellites which work together as a single “virtual instrument,” combining their images to reveal 3D information about solar eruptions as they move through space. PUNCH’s new images reveal huge solar eruptions, known as coronal mass ejections or CMEs, streaming out from the Sun and across the solar system. Check 'em out! 👇

Parker Solar Probe has made history. After seven days of silence, Parker has resumed communication with Earth, confirming it's healthy after soaring just 3.8 million miles from the solar surface — the closest a human-made object has ever been to a star.

Whistles. Crunches. Whooshes. These are a few of the space sounds heard in a new citizen science project called HARP. By participating, you can investigate cosmic vibrations recorded by NASA spacecraft that help sing the song of the Sun and Earth. More:

One year ago today, the Sun unleashed a torrent of eruptions that caused the biggest geomagnetic storm in over two decades. Auroras filled the skies as far south as Mexico! 🤩 But the storm’s impacts reached even farther and wider than you might think. Here’s some of what NASA has learned in the year since:

As the solar wind gushes out from the Sun, it bathes the planets and can create colorful dancing lights known as auroras.

Remember the big solar storm in May? Scientists have just discovered that, in addition to creating spellbinding auroras, the storm also made a new temporary ring of charged, high-energy particles encircling Earth.
