Nearly 20 Americans die from melanoma each day and it is estimated that more than 7000 deaths will be attributed to skin cancer in 2022 alone. With some thoughtful considerations like limiting exposure to the sun, wearing proper clothing, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen to all uncovered areas, reapplying sunscreen after swimming or sweating, and generally being aware of the potential of......

Visible light observations of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) acquired by the Wide Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) telescopes onboard the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission on November 19-20, 2021. The PSP and CME are located just 10 million km from the solar surface and PSP is approaching the CME from below. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (KHI) appear as vortices at the interface......

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory engineers launched PRAM, the Photovoltaic Radio-frequency Antenna Module, aboard an Air Force X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle on May 17, as part of a comprehensive investigation into prospective terrestrial use of solar energy captured in space. Depending on the results, the team aims ultimately to build a fully-functional system on a dedicated spacecraft to test......
