Etienne Klein's charcuterie sausage-based astronomy gag was amusing for many but fell flat for others.

Scientists can detect far-side sunspots and other hidden solar activity using a technique known as helioseismology.

A well-known weather reporter in Mexico shared the images on his Facebook page saying the object had fallen from the sky.

The magnetic classification is associated with solar flares—thankfully they're unlikely to be disruptive.

Perseid meteors burn up in the Earth's atmosphere at speeds of around 130,000 miles per hour.

Three large pieces of space debris fell into rural Australia, causing a sonic boom to ring out across the area.

The lake's water levels are now at their lowest ever recorded due to the severe drought gripping the southwestern U.S.

Incidents of space debris landing on Earth have reportedly increased due to space tourism and increased exploration from international government agencies.

The asteroid, known as 2013 CU83, will come within 4.3 million miles of Earth, so there is zero chance it will collide with us during this close approach.

Sunspots, caused by the sun's tangled magnetic field, can eject solar material towards Earth resulting in geomagnetic storms.
