It will provide the first-ever global images of Earth’s magnetosphere—a crucial shield against harmful solar radiation. Scheduled to launch aboard Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Lander as ...

This, they claim, means it must have originated in the highly magnetized region that surrounds a star: the magnetosphere. The researchers obtained their result by measuring the FRB’s scintillation, ...

The Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) which aims to study the ...

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 ...

A historic solar storm in May 2024 not only triggered spectacular auroras but also created two new temporary radiation belts ...

It has a thin atmosphere and no magnetosphere so humans who intend to spend any long period in Mars are probably going to have to live underground or in some sort of devices that can shield them ...

But in the magnetosphere collisions between particles are rare, and scattering across the magnetic field is most effective when there are electromagnetic waves at frequencies of a few millihertz ...

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 ...
