Radiation belts are a normal part of the architecture of a planet with a global magnetic field. Stars are constantly leaking particles, borne by a stellar wind; these stream out and, where they ...

Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

Solar Orbiter has revealed that tiny, hair-like jets in the Sun’s coronal holes are responsible for both fast and slow solar ...

Could the expected solar flares bring a greater chance of seeing the northern lights? Sophia Herod takes a look.

"This is the first solid evidence that helical magnetic fields can explain astrophysical jets at different scales." ...

For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

A large team of researchers working on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Collaboration, which has been analyzing eleven years' ...

Predicting these solar storms has always been tricky. But a recent study led by Sabrina Guastavino from the University of ...

Earth's magnetic poles are shifting unpredictably, with rapid drifts and weakening fields raising questions about a possible future reversal and its global effects.

Traditional methods which rely on human analysis of solar images and data, often provide less accurate and timely forecasts.

The resulting ... Magnetic Field Maps of the Sun's Corona Sep. 11, 2024 — Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough in solar physics by successfully producing detailed maps of the Sun's ...
