So heliophysics for NASA isn’t just about pure fundamental research; we have to keep astronauts safe. And it’s going to be much harder to do that if we don’t have lots of eyes on the sun ...

Heliophysics is the study of the Sun, its electromagnetic activity, and how its behavior impacts the Earth. Aurora was relatively bright in the sky over eastern Jordan Lake. Neal K. Shah, CEO ...

During its flyby, Parker snapped some amazing close-up images of the Sun, which NASA finally released to the public yesterday ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine shall establish a Decadal Survey Committee (the “Survey Committee”) to develop a comprehensive science and mission strategy for solar and ...

NASA’s Heliophysics Big Year begins Saturday, Oct. 14, and celebrates the study of the sun and the way its properties and atmosphere influence space and planets, including Earth. An annular eclipse ...

Heliophysics Is Set to Shine in 2025. The science of the sun and its effects on the solar system is a sprawling discipline that expects a very exciting 2025. By Meghan Bartels edited by Lee Billings.

NASA has selected a new SwRI-managed heliophysics mission focused on investigating the Sun’s middle corona — an enigmatic region of the Sun’s atmosphere driving solar activity — for a ...

NASA's heliophysics experts explain how space weather forecasting works, and why geomagnetic storms seem to be more disruptive than ever. By Eva Botkin-Kowacki Updated Dec 4, 2022 5:00 PM EST ...

In heliophysics, a Kappa distribution is a statistical model that describes the velocity distribution of particles in space plasmas, particularly in the solar wind.

“PUNCH fills in that science puzzle between the sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, and the Earth,” said Joe Westlake, director of NASA’s heliophysics division, at a Feb. 25 briefing.
