A careful statistical comparison of observations recorded by NASA's Juno mission and the Planetary Science Institute's Io ...

The Moon’s two hemispheres have spent billions of years facing very different surroundings. Its far side looks away from ...

China’s Chang’e-6 samples have uncovered a surprising difference between the Moon’s two hemispheres. Solar wind particles ...

The moon has been bathed in solar wind for billions of years, but the two hemispheres are struck by solar wind of different ...

A team led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has found that NASA’s Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter frequently encounters giant swirling waves at ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has just left the realm of the solar wind and entered the domain of Jupiter’s magnetosphere, within which all particles are manipulated by the planet’s immense magnetic field.

Scientists have built a device that mimics the magnetic fields surrounding the Earth and other planets. They hope to use the device to understand how the Earth's protective magnetosphere works – and ...

Enveloping our planet and protecting us from the fury of the Sun is a giant bubble of magnetism called the magnetosphere. It deflects most of the solar material sweeping towards us from our star at 1 ...

The magnetic fields that surround some planets, such as Earth, have been recreated in miniature in the lab. The 3D model may give us a better idea of how space weather affects satellites. Any ...
