States across the Northern edge of the U.S. have a chance to see the northern lights (also known as aurora borealis) this ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is the original forcefield, a wall of electromagnetic force that protects us from high-energy charged particles spewed by our sun during solar eruptions. The dance ...

Simulations of Mercury’s interaction with the solar wind, in contrast, predict that the sunward component of the interplanetary magnetic field, BX, should shift the nighttime offset northward ...

Solar flares accelerate energetic electrons that escape into interplanetary space, guided by the Parker spiral magnetic field, and are responsible for the generation of the interplanetary Type III ...

For the first time, scientists are looking at real data — not computer models, but direct observation — about what is happening in the fascinating region where the Earth’s magnetic field breaks and ...

"The interplanetary magnetic field is the magnetic field between the planets in the solar system—and both its strength and the direction in which it is pointing can vary quite dramatically ...

Scientists find that interplanetary shocks which strike Earth’s magnetic field head-on cause more powerful ground-level electric currents, threatening pipelines and submarine cables Auroras have ...

The LAPD magnetic field provides a model of the solar system's interplanetary magnetic field, while the laser-driven plasma models the solar wind and the dipole magnet provides a model for the ...

Highly ordered magnetic fields in the tail of the jellyfish galaxy JO206 Article 26 October 2020 Strong toroidal magnetic fields required by quiescent X-ray emission of magnetars ...

Closed field lines simply "arch up" into the Sun's atmosphere but come back down to the Sun, while open field lines actually erupt from the Sun and "connect with the interplanetary magnetic field ...

The magnetic field in one zone on Mars is about 10 times stronger than scientists expected, and it's changing rapidly. New data gathered from NASA's InSight lander, which has been on the Red ...

The European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter probe may have just captured evidence of a solar magnetic field reversing directions, bolstering a theory for how the well known, but mysterious ...
