A NASA craft that studies the sun captured a partial solar eclipse Thursday.
Jupiter has such powerful auroras because they come from volcanoes erupting on its moon Io, rather than the sun’s storms that create northern lights on planet Earth.
Comets may have delivered Earth’s atmosphere while it was forming and made it the planet we love today.
Astronomers say this new planet they found is like Jupiter but much hotter, and that makes for some freaky clouds and weather patterns.
Jupiter’s enormous swirling red storm, its Great Red Spot, is shrinking so much that it is changing shape and could soon be the size of Earth.
A binary star exploded in a supernova and showered its only friend in calcium.
Eruptions on the sun look very different, but they might all be produced the same way — with energy bursting through a magnetic field.
In order to turn the Sun into a black hole, you must compress all of the matter you see in the flaming ball of plasma above into a certain size.
Meet Steve, the purple streak of light that appears during the aurora borealis and, until recently, stumped astronomers.
Streams of the Sun’s garbage do beautiful things like create auroras, but they can also change the electricity in Earth’s atmosphere.
A large asteroid is going to get pretty close to Earth this month for the first time in hundreds of years.
Physicists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have provided an answer to why the phenomenon, wherein oppositely directed magnetic field lines in plasma can break apart and reconnect, occurs much faster than theory says it should.
The T-G-K comet, or the April Fools Comet, will be the closest to Earth it's ever come on April 1.
In the winds rushing away from a supermassive black hole are all the right ingredients for new stars to be born.

The 149 bulbs can produce temperatures of up to 5,432 degrees Fahrenheit.
Two new job postings from 'Pokémon' developer Game Freak suggest they're hiring up in advance of a potential Nintendo Switch release.
A “striking spiral pattern” of gaseous emissions was seen around LL Pegasi and its companion star, about 3,400 light-years away from Earth.
The images, captured using the Kepler Space Telescope, show dips in the brightness of the red dwarf star caused by the system's transiting planets.
The magnetic shield would enable the Red Planet to create its own atmosphere, making it far better suited to human life.
The remains of asteroid debris orbiting two stars showed evidence of a nearby planet much like Luke Skywalker's home, Tatooine.
UGC 12591 is a massive galaxy chain that stretches for hundreds of millions of light-years.
