The biggest solar flare in years temporarily knocked out radio communications on Earth Thursday.
Referred to as a "moon halo," "moon ring" or "22° halo," the glowing ring around the moon is actually an optical phenomena.
(CNN) -- An innovative experiment flying aboard NASA's Psyche mission just hit its first major milestone by successfully carrying out the most distant demonstration of laser communications. The tech demo could one day help NASA missions probe deeper into space and uncover more discoveries about the origin of the universe.
