How do we tackle global warming? Some say we could cool the earth by dimming the sun's rays. Scientists say any such experiment will take a toll on Africa, Asia. Listen in to Palki Sharma

Gravitas: Group of scientists oppose dimming the sun's rays

For the first time in human history, a spacecraft has made contact with the sun. NASA's Parker Solar Probe flew into the sun's atmosphere. Palki Sharma tells you how the probe is unlocking the secrets of the sun.

A group of women from Maryland, US, have challenged a ban on topless sunbathing. The petitioners are asking the Supreme Court to review a law that allows men to show skin but bans women from doing the same.

US women urge Supreme Court to repeal topless sunbathing ban as it permits discrimination

While the actual surface of the Sun will burn (evaporate actually) anything to a crisp with its thousands of degrees temperature, even a few million miles from the surface are way hotter than the hottest furnace.

The other Corona: Know about the Sun's atmosphere 'touched' by a man-made probe for the first time

According to scientists from the US space agency, a NASA spacecraft has gone closer to the sun than ever before, entering its atmosphere known as the corona.

Scientists in the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Harvard University have discovered a ''nemesis'' of the Sun. The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, provides evidence that all stars are born in pairs.

Astronomers discover trouble-making 'nemesis' twin of the Sun

Sun is hot, really hot. The surface of the sun is burning at more than 5000 degrees Celsius. At the core, it is even hotter. But group of Indian astronomers have now found stars that are hotter than the Sun.

NASA's Hubble Telescope has unveiled new images that could offer a sneak preview of the demise of the Sun. The sun, essentially a hot ball of hydrogen and helium, is an average-sized star that formed more than 4.

Astronomers offer hint on how Sun's death might unfold

An invisible layer protects our planet from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays of the Sun. It is crucial for the survival of life on Earth. World Ozone Day focuses on the importance of preserving this layer and understanding the risks faced by the shield. WION tells you the significance of the ozone layer.

World Ozone Day: Ozone layer critical for survival of life on Earth

Sun is a source that sustains all life on Earth. But there will come a time when the Sun will begin to run out of the fuel a billion years from now. At this time, Sun will expand in size and literally burn our planet.

Ex-NASA scientist's Earth-saving idea involves stealing energy from Jupiter

NASA researchers have revealed a nearby star which closely resembles the young Sun. The new study aims to find out the details about the Sun and about the development of life on Earth.

NASA model: This is how the Sun looked like in its youth

The centre of our planetary system and the source of all energy on Earth, our gigantic Sun recently made its celestial presence felt with what is being called the biggest solar flare in four years.

The universe holds secrets we’re not completely programmed to understand. But humanity is always at the cusp of a breakthrough when it comes to knowledge accumulation and the new 3D map of our solar system proves just that!

In a first, new 3D map reveals details about the edge of our solar system

A Republican member of the US House of Representatives inquired at a congressional hearing on Tuesday about what can only be considered a novel approach to reversing the effects of climate change.

US lawmaker's idea to reverse climate change: Alter the orbit of the Moon

Our planet Earth does not deserve more bad news. A global pandemic which continues to kill scores everyday to the ongoing threats caused by climate change - there is a lot on our plate.

Sun has awoken and sent solar storms Earth's way. What are the dangers?

Starts are born in clusters this means Sun could have thousands of brothers and sisters. This theory has been put forth by an Russian astronomer Igor Izmailov. WION tells you more.

Carbon survived an interstellar journey to reach the Earth, entirely avoiding vaporisation, as believed earlier, according to a new study. Carbon is the backbone of life on Earth.

From where did Earth get carbon?

Yep, that's the name and the space object 'FarFarOut' is Really far away in our solar system. For comparisan, Pluto takes 246 years to complete one orbit around the Sun.

Space object named 'FarFarOut' is the most distant thing in solar system

Members of the NASA-funded 'Backyard Worlds: Planet 9' have created the ''most complete'' three-dimensional map of 525 brown dwarfs around the Sun. The 3D map encompasses a radius of 65 light-years, or about 400 trillion miles, with “close neighbours” inhabiting space within about 35 light-years, or 200 trillion miles.

Ever wondered what the source of all energy on our planet - the Sun looks like close up? Scientists recently released a detailed image of a sunspot, making it the first such image ever.

Look at the most detailed image of a sunspot ever captured!

Have you ever wondered what the centre of our solar system - the gigantic Sun looks like when observed for a long period of time? Well, fret not because NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has released a time-lapse video to exhibit what has been up with our giant star lately, or 20 years to be exact.
