Directorate Heliophysics Division studies the nature of the Sun and how it influences the very nature of space and the planets and the technology that exists there. Space is not completely empty: We live in the extended atmosphere of an active star. Our Sun sends out a steady outpouring of particles and energy known as the solar wind, carrying the Sun's writhing magnetic field. This extensive, dynamic solar atmosphere surrounds the Sun, Earth, the planets, and extends far out into the solar system.</p> <p>Studying this system not only helps us understand fundamental information about how the universe works, but also helps protect our technology and astronauts in space from the effects of <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/heliophysics/focus-areas/space-weather/">space weather</a>. Space weather events can interfere with our communications, satellites and power grids. The study of the Sun and space also reveals how stars contribute to the habitability of planets throughout the universe.</p> <p>Mapping out this interconnected system requires a holistic study of the Sun’s influence on space, Earth, and other planets. NASA has a fleet of spacecraft strategically placed throughout our heliosphere—from Parker Solar Probe at the Sun observing the very start of the solar wind, to satellites around Earth, to the farthest human-made object, Voyager, which is sending back observations on interstellar space. Each mission is positioned at a critical, well-thought out vantage point to observe and understand the flow of energy and particles throughout the solar system—all helping us untangle the effects of the star we live with. </p> <div id="" class="hds-media hds-module wp-block-image"><div class="margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline"><div class="hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto"><figure class="hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover "><a href="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hpd-fleet-chart-jan-2024.jpg"><img width="1280" height="720" src="https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hpd-fleet-chart-jan-2024.jpg?w=1280" class="attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048" alt="Chart showing the spacecraft in orbit that support the Heliophysics Division.

This doesn't happen every month, because the moon doesn't orbit in the exact same plane that the sun and Earth do – but it does happen occasionally. When it happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the sun<em>, </em>or solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow onto Earth.</p> <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/" target="_self" class="button-primary button-primary-sm link-external-false"> <span class="line-height-alt-1 " > Read More </span> <svg viewBox="0 0 32 32" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle class="button-primary-circle" cx="16" cy="16" r="16"></circle><path d="M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z" class="color-spacesuit-white"></path></svg> </a> </div> <div class="grid-col desktop:padding-left-5"> <div class="display-block"> <div class="hds-tabbed-section-image margin-bottom-2 minh-mobile"> <div class="hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto"><figure class="hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover "><img width="760" height="605" src="https://assets.science.nasa.gov/dynamicimage/assets/science/psd/solar/internal_resources/6075/Total_eclipse.jpeg?w=760&h=605&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint" class="attachment-large size-large" alt="A black circle representing the Moon, surrounded by bright light from the Sun's atmosphere" style="transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;" block_context="nasa-block" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /></figure><figcaption class="hds-caption padding-y-2"><div class="hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0">A total solar eclipse is seen on Monday, Aug. 21, 2017, above Madras, Oregon.

The subject of this image confused astronomers when it was first studied — rather than being classified as a single object, it was instead recorded as two objects, owing to its symmetrical lobed structure (known as NGC 2371 and NGC 2372, though sometimes referred to together as NGC 2371/2). These two lobes are visible to the upper right and lower left of the frame, and together form something known as a planetary nebula. Despite the name, such nebulae have nothing to do with planets; NGC 2371/2 formed when a Sun-like star reached the end of its life and blasted off its outer layers, shedding the constituent material and pushing it out into space to leave just a superheated stellar remnant behind. This remnant is visible as the orange-tinted star at the centre of the frame, sitting neatly between the two lobes. The structure of this region is complex. It is filled with dense knots of gas, fast-moving jets that appear to be changing direction over time, and expanding clouds of material streaming outwards on diametrically opposite sides of the remnant star. Patches of this scene glow brightly as the remnant star emits energetic radiation that excites the gas within these regions, causing it to light up. This scene will continue to change over the next few thousand years; eventually the knotty lobes will dissipate completely, and the remnant star will cool and dim to form a white dwarf.
