Reference Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are colossal expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona. Explore CMEs in more detail here in our guide.

Reference The Carrington Event took place in September 1859 and is one of history's largest solar storms. Events like this can wreak havoc on our technological world.

Reference There are five different types of solar flares. Discover what solar flares are, what causes them and the effects they have on Earth in our solar flare guide.

Reference A supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its orbit. 2023 will experience four supermoons.

Reference Black holes are real, they're some of the strangest objects in space. Discover what black holes are and how they form with our informative black hole guide.

Reference NASA's Parker Solar Probe is on a mission to study the sun closer than ever before. Learn more about the fastest spacecraft to date in our solar probe guide.

Reference The Eta Aquarid meteor shower from late April to mid-May offers a long stretch of spectacular "shooting stars" that even a casual observer can spot in the night sky.

Reference The Libra Constellation is found in the Southern Hemisphere during the winter and the Northern Hemisphere in the summer. Here we explore the scales in detail.

Reference The Saturn V rocket powered the Apollo missions, changing the course of spaceflight forever. Here we explore this impressive rocket in more detail.

Reference This year's Black Moon will occur on April 30. The rare occurrence will cause a partial solar eclipse for some parts of South America.

Reference The solar cycle describes an 11-year period of solar activity driven by the sun's magnetic field and indicated by the number of sunspots visible on the surface.

Reference A Blue Moon is a rare occurrence that depends on the timings of full moons during the year. The moon is not blue during a Blue Moon.

Reference Starlink satellites have been developed by SpaceX to provide internet to remote locations. Here we explore the controversial megaconstellation in more detail.

Reference Earth Day occurs annually on April, 22. It began in 1970 and celebrates the environmental diversity of Earth and highlights ways of protecting it.

Reference The sun's atmosphere has three layers: The photosphere, the chromosphere and the corona.

Reference Earth is made up of several layers: the lithosphere, asthenosphere, lower mantle (also known as mesospheric mantle), outer core and inner core.

Reference Planet Mercury is the sun's nearest planetary neighbor. It has short years, long days, huge surface temperature fluctuations and really weird sunsets.

Reference The lithosphere is Earth's outermost layer, composed of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The layer is divided into chunks called tectonic plates.

Reference The double-slit experiment was designed to investigate whether light is a wave or a particle. It is one of the most famous and weirdest experiments in physics.

Reference Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles located in the outermost regions of atoms. They are about 1,800 times smaller than protons and neutrons.

Reference Io is Jupiter's fifth moon and its third-largest. It is the most volcanically active body in the solar system.
