After months of meticulous planning, NASA's Odyssey Orbiter finally captured a unique view of the Red Planet's horizon, which is similar to what future Martian astronauts might see.
'Cannibal' solar explosion likely to hit Earth today, bringing strong geomagnetic storm and widespread auroras
A recent solar explosion that almost reached "X-class" status has hurled a massive coronal mass ejection toward Earth, which will likely hit our planet and trigger a geomagnetic storm on Dec. 1.
A once-in-a-lifetime view of the sun's 'solar maximum' is coming April 8th
