M iles upon miles overhead, there is a field in the atmosphere that shields the Earth from space energies that could be ...

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are ...

The launch of the Blue Ghost module, scheduled to land on the moon early next month, is a key step in creating an Earth–moon ...

The human body was not built for spaceflight, with its microgravity conditions, exposure to high-energy radiation and other ...

That’s quite a big gap, as it turns out. It covers fields from gigantic bodies like the Sun and Earth, as well as those ...

NOAA releases northern lights forecast for Valentine's Day, with chances of the aurora borealis reaching the northern part of ...

This even distribution of hydrogen is thought to be key to developing scalable radiation shields for both spacecraft and the ...

Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." ...

When they arrive, they can interact with our magnetosphere and trigger geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellite communications, GPS systems, and power grids. Additionally, they can lead to ...

The exchange of electromagnetic and thermal energy in collisionless plasmas is an important area of study to understand many space physics processes. The authors use in-situ, high resolution ...

That's because when the solar particles interact with Earth's magnetosphere, the powerful eruption should make the vibrant northern lights visible to more of the Northern Hemisphere. Here's what ...
