From studying life on Earth to powering spacecraft across the solar system, NASA uses solar power to explore near and far.
In September 2024, the Heliophysics Big Year theme is Environment and Sustainability. The Heliophysics Big Year is a global celebration of the Sun’s influence on Earth and the entire solar system. From Oct. 14, 2023, to Dec. 24, 2024, the Heliophysics Big Year celebrates under a theme, sharing opportunities to participate in many solar science events and activities. During the Heliophysics Big Year, participation isn’t limited to science – NASA invites everyone to celebrate the Sun with as many Sun-related activities as they can.
