    From Impact to Innovation: A Year of Science and Triumph for Historic DART Mission

    Last fall, the world watched as the DART spacecraft — the Double Asteroid Redirection Test — guided itself toward the asteroid Dimorphos for a direct collision, a major technical achievement and the first successful planetary defense test in history. Revisit DART's triumphant collision and the resulting year of science analysis and discoveries that followed.

    Parker Probe’s Path Through Solar Blast Yields Unparalleled Space Weather Insights

    NASA's Parker Solar Probe has now become the first spacecraft ever to fly through a powerful solar explosion near the Sun. Passing along and through a coronal mass ejection last September, Parker provided an unparalleled view into these stellar explosions and an opportunity to study them early in their evolution.

    Parker Solar Probe ‘Sees’ Sun Sweep Up Interplanetary Dust

    In 2022, NASA's Parker Solar Probe soared gracefully through one of the most powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs) ever recorded — not only an impressive feat of engineering but a huge boon for the scientific community. Parker's journey through the CME is helping to prove a 20-year-old theory about the interaction of CMEs with interplanetary dust, with implications for space weather predictions.
