41,000 years ago, a cataclysmic event shook our planet and forever changed humanity’s path. The Earth’s magnetic field briefly collapsed, leaving life on Earth exposed to increased solar and cosmic ...

NASA invites the public to join the Space Umbrella project, analyzing MMS data to study magnetic reconnection and solar wind ...

Scientists have possibly detected new evidence of subtle movements of magnetism deep inside the Sun, which may help them better predict solar storms and space weather. The new study was conducted by a ...

The Sun constantly emits streams of charged particles, known as the solar wind, from its outer atmosphere, the corona. These particles travel throughout the Solar System and interact with Earth's ...

Two NASA satellites rocketed into orbit from California aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Wednesday, commencing a $170 million mission to study a phenomenon of space physics that has eluded researchers ...

MYSTERY WIRE — A magnetic explosion on the sun put on a display like we’ve never seen before, and what scientists learned could help us better predict the weather in space. A solar “prominence” — much ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Earth's magnetic field is like an invisible shield that protects our planet from solar and cosmic radiation. While it might not be ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology IIT Kanpur have developed the worlds first three dimensional data-driven model to predict solar activity, contributing towards monitoring space ...
