The exoplanet WASP-69b is orbiting its host star so closely that the intense radiation is literally boiling the planet's atmosphere into space.
NASA's Hubble telescope spotted mysterious spots on Saturn's rings that scientists have puzzled over for decades. They might get their answer soon.
A solar eruption left a void around Mars last year, causing the red planet's atmosphere to balloon outward for a day.
It was supposed to be a big week for auroras. But there are plenty of uncertainties when it comes to forecasting and predicting the northern lights.
Powerful eruptions on the sun created beautiful aurora borealis — Northern Lights — that could be seen in Arizona, California, Missouri, and more.

The aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, could be stunning on Friday after a giant coronal hole on the sun blasted strong solar winds toward Earth.
A heat wave on Jupiter helped astronomers solve the planet's "energy crisis" mystery. Watch the video of an aurora heating the planet.
Strong northern lights can indicate huge bursts of energy from the sun — solar storms — that interfere with magnetic, electric, and radio technology.
Aurorae happen on other planets, too, as charged particles from the sun surge through the solar system.
Today, a swirling layer of liquid metal powers Earth's magnetic field. Billions of years ago, a magma ocean in the planet's core did the job instead.
The Solar Orbiter will photograph enormous holes in the sun's atmosphere and track violent electrical eruptions that surge toward Earth.
Scientists think the new aurora forms when electric currents from space create folds and curls in Earth's atmosphere.
A NASA intern saw the aurora in 3-year-old footage of the Arctic sky. It's the first known aurora caused by Earth's magnetic activity.
The Parker Solar Probe's study of the sun's corona and wind could lead to new protections for astronauts and Earth's electric grid.
For the first time, researchers have converted recordings of electromagnetic waves in Earth's magnetic field into sound.

Our planet's gases reach so far into space that they envelope the moon. The discovery could help astronomers refine deep-space observation data.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe successfully launched into space on August 12 on an unprecedented mission to "touch" the sun. But now it needs to endure temperatures will reach a searing 2,500 degrees as the spacecraft zooms through the star's atmosphere at speeds close to 430,000 mph.
Thanks to a solar storm, US states may see the Northern Lights late Wednesday night and early Tuesday morning.
Solar Probe Plus will become the fastest human-made object after it's launched.
What you see here is something you could never experience on earth.
