NASA’s CGS releases the MAGE model to improve space weather prediction, providing simulations of solar storms, auroras, and ...

Revisiting old data from Voyager 2, scientists have worked out how a dense, shocked region of the solar wind could have ...

It has long been known that the Earth’s magnetic field provides a protective barrier for life on Earth. As energetic particles stream outward from the Sun in the form of the solar wind, they are ...

Unfortunate timing The first panel of this artist's concept depicts how Uranus's magnetosphere – its protective bubble – was behaving before the 1986 flyby of NASA's Voyager 2. The second panel shows ...

The European Space Agency’s Swarm mission detected an unexpected spike in high-energy protons over Earth’s poles during a ...

The solar wind is a constant feature of the solar system – except on Christmas Day 2022 when it suddenly vanished completely. The odd event was detected by a NASA spacecraft orbiting Mars, which found ...

Researchers have created pictures showing how solar storms compress our planet's protective magnetic field. The findings could help improve communications satellite design. Martin LaMonica is a senior ...

A predictive space weather model developed by APL and partners that is designed to simulate how solar storms affect Earth is ...

The European Space Agency's Swarm mission detected a large but temporary spike of high-energy protons at Earth's poles during ...

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.

The planet Mercury's magnetic field appears to be strong enough to fend off the harsh solar wind from most of its surface, according to new data from NASA's Messenger spacecraft. The planet Mercury's ...

Aurorae are prevalent electromagnetic phenomena observed across diverse celestial bodies within and beyond the solar system, characterized by emissions spanning X-ray to radio wavelengths, indicative ...
