NASA Research Shows How Sun’s Ancient History Shaped Earth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NASA's Heliophysics Missions Communications Lead At the center of our solar system, the Sun influences every planet that orbits it. In two recent NASA-funded studies, scientists uncovered how ancient events in the Sun’s history may have helped create Earth’s unique climate and driven previously unexplained climatic shifts. In new research, scientists at NASA’s SHIELD (Solar Wind with Hydrogen Ion charge Exchange and Large-Scale Dynamics) center — one of NASA's DRIVE (Diversify, Realize, Integrat
NASA’s COFFIES Uses AI to Predict Storm-Causing Active Regions (opens the original)

NASA's Heliophysics Missions Communications Lead EDITOR’S NOTE: This story was revised Aug. 27, 2026, to clarify the interrelationship between the COFFIES DRIVE Science Center and SWAO. As humanity looks to the Moon and stars for future exploration, predicting space weather — conditions in space primarily driven by the Sun — is more important than ever. Now, a team of astrophysicists and data scientists with NASA’s COFFIES (Consequence Of Fields and Flows in the Interior and Exterior of the Sun)
NASA’s PUNCH Sharpens Solar Storm Forecasting in First Test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Using continuous imagery from NASA’s PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission, scientists predicted the near-Earth arrival of a solar eruption to within 30 minutes in an initial proof of concept test. The results, presented Tuesday at the Committee on Space Research Scientific Meeting and under review at the journal Space Weather, could revolutionize the way Earth-impacting storms are forecasted. “We thought PUNCH would be good at this, but it’s a stunning result,” said Cr
NASA’s ESCAPADE Snaps Family Portrait of Earth, Moon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Editor’s note: This article was updated on July 30, 2026, to correct an error in the caption. On July 3, one of NASA’s two Mars-destined ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) spacecraft captured photos of Earth and the Moon in visible and thermal infrared light. At the time, the spacecraft was 363,250 miles (584,600 kilometers) from Earth and 115,600 miles (186,100 kilometers) from the Moon, making the Moon appear relatively large. Taken with the Sun only partly illumi
