Assessment Phase, Final Report Of Solar Orbiter
Paris (ESA) Jan 19, 2006The assessment study of the Solar Orbiter has addressed all mission areas, from the scientific requirements to the payload complement, the space and ground segments, and the respective technology readiness, including all corresponding programmatic aspects. Intrepid Solar Spacecraft Celebrates 10th Anniversary 
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Nov 30, 2005The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft celebrates its 10th anniversary on December 2. The SOHO mission, a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency, has allowed scientists to make significant advances in understanding Earth's closest star, our sun. SOHO Watches Solar Coronal Mass Ejection 
Paris (ESA) Nov 28, 2005On 21 Nov 2005 a coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the Sun, a fairly common event. Scientists reviewed the images and data and concluded this particular CME had its source on the far side of the Sun, so it is safe to say that there will not be effects felt here at Earth from this event. |
Twin APL-Built Solar Probes Shipped To NASA Goddard For Pre-Launch Tests
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Nov 10, 2005The first spacecraft designed to capture 3-D "stereo" views of the sun and solar wind were shipped Wednesday from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for their next round of pre-launch tests. Who's Afraid Of A Solar Flare? 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Oct 09, 2005Last month, the sun went haywire. Almost every day for two weeks in early September, solar flares issued from a giant sunspot named "active region 798/808." X-rays ionized Earth�s upper atmosphere. Solar protons peppered the Moon. It was not a good time to be in space. Ulysses, Fifteen Years And Going Strong 
Paris (ESA) Oct 07, 2005Fifteen years after its launch, the grand ESA/NASA Ulysses space mission is still going strong, orbiting the Sun and continuing to tell exciting stories about our nearest star. |

Tens Of Thousands Flock To Holy Baths In India During Solar Eclipse
New Delhi (AFP) Oct 03, 2005Tens of thousands of Hindu pilgrims across India jostled to take holy baths in the sacred River Ganges after performing special prayers for ancestors during a rare solar eclipse on Monday, television networks reported. Annular Solar Eclipse On October 03 
Washington DC (SPX) Sep 29, 2005On Monday, October 03, an annular1 eclipse of the Sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor which traverses the Iberian Peninsula and stretches across the African continent. A partial eclipse will be seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes Europe, western Asia, the Middle East, India and most of Africa. Spacecraft Pick Up Earthly Aurora 
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 20, 2005A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on Sept. 15, but it did not spark the strong display of auroras many people were hoping to see. In the CME's wake, however, a fast solar wind stream is blowing past Earth and buffeting our planet's magnetic field. |
Solar Minimum Explodes
Huntsville AL (SPX) Sep 16, 2005Just one week ago, on Sept. 7th, a huge sunspot rounded the sun's eastern limb. As soon as it appeared, it exploded, producing one of the brightest x-ray solar flares of the Space Age. In the days that followed, the growing spot exploded eight more times. AFWA Monitors Record Solar Flare 
Offutt AFB (AFPN) Sep 12, 2005A large group of sunspots is being tracked by Air Force Weather Agency space weather technicians here. Over the next few days, weather technicians are forecasting moderate to extreme solar flares resulting in possible geomagnetic storms. Huge Solar Flare Spotted 
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 09, 2005Scientists are currently tracking a very large flare that occurred on the Sun around 1:40 pm EDT (17:40 UT). The current estimate of the size of the explosion is X-17; that would place the flare as the fifth largest ever observed. |
