115K views · 7K reactions | Over the next few years, the Sun will get stormier! ☀️ Roughly every 11 years, the Sun transitions from a relatively calm state to a more active and stormy one with more eruptions and sunspots bubbling on the solar surface. Predictions show the Sun’s peak may be around 2025. Scientists are studying what drives the solar cycle and use NASA satellites that have a front-row seat of our star from space. | NASA Space Alerts | Facebook

This series of 41 radar images obtained by the Deep Space Network's Goldstone Solar System Radar on July 28, 2025, shows the near-Earth asteroid 2025 OW as it made its close approach with our planet. The asteroid safely passed at about 400,000 miles (640,000 kilometers), or 1.6 times the distance from Earth to the Moon. The asteroid was discovered on July 4, 2025, by the NASA-funded Pan-STARRS2 survey telescope on Haleakala in Maui, Hawaii. These Goldstone observations suggest that 2025 OW is ab
