Researchers have developed a novel technique to investigate the dynamics of the early Solar System by analyzing magnetites in meteorites utilizing the wave nature of electrons. Within meteorites, the ...

The largest moon in the solar system — Jupiter’s Ganymede — has a unique and inexplicable magnetic field. New research could finally explain it: the moon is heating up.

For the first time, scientists believe they have captured direct evidence of the mechanisms that trigger a solar flare. These massive explosions, generated by the Sun, release staggering amounts of ...

Imagine standing on a snowy mountain ridge. A single fracture forms in the ice crust, or a small patch of heavy snow shifts just an inch. That tiny movement destabilizes the snowpack below, which ...

Solar wind generated by the sun is probably driven by a process involving powerful magnetic fields, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers based on the latest ...

Much of the Sun's tempestuous nature comes from its core. At its core is dense, electrically charged gas. Electrically charged gas is a special form of matter called a plasma. This roiling, boiling ...

The Sun's warping of Earth's magnetic protections could explain how aurora occur in other parts of our solar system. Reading time 2 minutes Our Sun is a dynamic star, constantly bombarding our planet ...
