ARCHIVED - NASA Sun & Space

Hey @NASASun fans – this account is moving! 🚛

Going forward, all solar activity reports and alerts will come from the new @NASASpaceAlerts account, where we'll share breaking news about solar activity as well as asteroids, meteors, comets, and noteworthy happenings in our local space environment. If you want to stay updated on what's happening on the Sun, give @NASASpaceAlerts a follow!

For all other heliophysics-related content, we’ll be delivering it to you from the @NASASolarSystem account, so give them a follow as well!

Once the move is complete, we will post a final notice to this account, then mark it as archived.

Thanks for being with us for all our trips around the Sun!☀️

It’s #SunDay! This week’s (July 4 - 10) space weather report includes:
· 2 M-class flares
· 0 C-class flares
· 32 coronal mass ejections
· 0 geomagnetic storms

This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity.

At about 2:33, SDO performs one of its calibration maneuvers, which keep the spacecraft’s telescopes in top working order.

But what’s that at 2:47? 👇🤔

From tracking plasma flows on the Sun, to detangling solar eruptions, to creating a “digital twin” of our entire neighborhood in space, NASA’s DRIVE Science Centers are on the case – and they now have new webpages! 👇

Established in 2022, NASA’s DRIVE Science Centers are like heliophysics think tanks, where modelers, theoreticians, computer scientists, and observers come together to unravel the Sun’s biggest mysteries.
