Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those fields formed so fast. Observations from the Atacama Large ...

For nearly half a century, astronomers have believed that stars like our sun eventually ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved a theory scientists believed for 45 years: that stars switch their rotation ...

Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system, has a magnetic field that has intrigued scientists for decades. Recent observations indicate that this magnetic field is weakening, prompting ...

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 ...

Recently the MagQuest competition on improving the measuring of the Earth’s magnetic field announced that the contestants in the final phase have now moved on to launching their satellites within the ...
