NASA is about to 'touch' the sun. Here's what you need to know.
NASA is about to make history. Its Parker Solar Probe is set to fly closer to the sun than any object in history. The mission is years in the making.
The sun is at its 11-year maximum. That means another year of eruptions that can endanger satellites, ground flights, and spark stunning auroras.
NASA says the sun is at its maximum and likely to belch out big eruptions that cause technology issues and spark stunning auroras in the next year.

The total solar eclipse will be visible to millions on April 8 as its path cuts from Texas to Maine. Totality will last slightly longer, NASA says.
The equinox might fuel powerful Northern Lights by creating 'holes' in Earth's magnetic field
This may be the best month to see the Northern Lights, aka aurora borealis. The spring equinox is coming, which can lead to "holes" in Earth's magnetic field.
Watch the sun show off all year with a total eclipse, strong solar storms, and NASA almost landing on the solar surface
A Helio Year: With a total solar eclipse across the US, a NASA spacecraft "landing" on the sun, and maybe solar maximum, 2024 is the year of the sun.

A huge tornado on the sun released a cloud of hot gas 6 times the size of the Earth
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the moment a cloud of charged plasma escaped the sun and whirled into space.
Mysterious 'ghostly' shadows larger than planet Earth reappeared on Saturn's rings. NASA says it expects even more to appear soon.
NASA's Hubble telescope spotted mysterious spots on Saturn's rings that scientists have puzzled over for decades. They might get their answer soon.
The most powerful solar eruption in years fired a powerful 'X-class' solar flare that just hit Earth, and scientists are monitoring for more possible outbursts
The most powerful solar flare since 2017 just hit Earth, and knocked out radio communication on Earth for a while.
