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 ...
NASA invites the public to join the Space Umbrella project, analyzing MMS data to study magnetic reconnection and solar wind ...
Launched to Mars in November, NASA’s ESCAPADE probes — operated by UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Lab — are now testing their ...
The "equinox effect" doubles the chance of auroral activity in March and September, when the fall equinox occurs, scientists say.
Scientists have detected new magnetic movements within the Sun, potentially enabling more accurate predictions of solar storms.
In our latest episode of Lexicon, we sit down with Dr. Lulu Zhao, an ...
Scientists have analyzed more than 40 years of astronomical data to uncover evidence that the sun's internal structure subtly ...
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 ...
The radio 'howl' of a lightning-like discharge has been detected at Mars for the first time. While orbiting the red planet, NASA's MAVEN spacecraft recorded an unusual electromagnetic signal back on ...
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 ...
The combination of the Spring equinox and the Sun's solar cycle starting towards its minimum means now is the last best time ...
NOAA is forecasting an uptick in space weather, with the aurora borealis possible from northern U.S. states and Canada on Sunday, Feb. 22, through Monday, Feb. 23.
