Voyager caught Uranus in a rare magnetic storm, and a 40-year mystery became a mission case for understanding volatile ice ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated deep within the planet’s liquid iron core, has been bending, stretching, and occasionally flipping for billions of years. That invisible shield determines whether ...

Scientists in a rare discovery have found “smiling electrons” inside Earth’s protective magnetic field. According to a new ...

Forty years ago, Voyager 2 flew past Uranus and observed radiation levels that defied explanation. Now, scientists may ...

How can Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, influence its much larger parent planet? This is what a recent study published in the ...

One of the features of Earth that is critical to protecting life as we know it is the magnetosphere. The Earth's magnetosphere is a magnetic field that protects the planet from the constant ...

Today’s aurora alert proves the Sun is more dynamic than many may realize. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center announced today that the Sun had ...

Scientists have built a device that mimics the magnetic fields surrounding the Earth and other planets. They hope to use the device to understand how the Earth's protective magnetosphere works – and ...

A magnetosphere forms around any magnetized object, such as a planet, that is immersed within a stream of ionized gas, called plasma. Because Earth possesses an intrinsic magnetic field, the planet is ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has just left the realm of the solar wind and entered the domain of Jupiter’s magnetosphere, within which all particles are manipulated by the planet’s immense magnetic field.

Researching a piece on vacuum tubes, we stumbled on something unexpected from Electro-Harmonix, best known for guitar amplifiers and audio tube manufacture. In a break from their core business, they ...
