Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...
What if part of Earth’s magnetic field were to act in reverse, flipping a fundamental electrical pattern scientists had assumed for decades? That question now has a concrete answer, thanks to new ...
Much of our understanding of Uranus comes from Voyager 2's flyby, which to date remains the only time a spacecraft has visited the planet. Voyager 2's data on the magnetosphere surrounding Uranus has ...
Revisiting old data from Voyager 2, scientists have worked out how a dense, shocked region of the solar wind could have manipulated Uranus' magnetosphere. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
Earth’s magnetic bubble, the invisible shield that normally deflects charged particles from the Sun, briefly shrank to a fraction of its usual size during a recent superstorm, exposing satellites and ...
In this visualization, the LEXI instrument is shown onboard Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1, which will deliver 10 Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) payloads to the Moon. A NASA X-ray ...
Jupiter’s magnetosphere is the largest and most dynamic in the Solar System, a vast region where the planet’s powerful magnetic field governs the behaviour of charged particles. This envelope not only ...
A screen shot from NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio that visualizes the Earth's magnetosphere being hit by a geomagnetic storm that happened throughout May 10-11, 2024. The powerful geomagnetic ...
Description: BOOM will design a deployable boom and sensor payload that can mount to a CubeSat and enable low-noise magnetosphere data collection. Deployable booms have been used on space stations and ...
