A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ...

Voyager 2’s data showed that Uranus’ magnetosphere was home to unexpectedly powerful electron radiation belts. Their intensity was similar to the massive bands of radiation found around Jupiter.

Voyager 2's data on the magnetosphere surrounding Uranus has for decades left scientists perplexed. As a result, Uranus earned a decades-long reputation as an outlier in our solar system.

After reanalyzing the data from the Voyager 2 flyby, the researchers found that the planet's magnetosphere was only compressed to the degree it was observed around 4 percent of the time.

As you probably know, Earth's magnetosphere, 'the invisible bubble of magnetic fields and electrically charged particles that surrounds and protects the planet from the periodically lethal ...

Understanding the magnetosphere’s behavior is vital for protecting modern technology. Solar storms can interfere with satellite communications, disrupt GPS systems, and even overload power grids ...

Physics Earth’s magnetosphere replicated in miniature using lasers and magnets. The first 3D model of Earth’s magnetosphere could help us better understand how satellites cope with space weather ...

NASA have released chilling details about how Cold War nuke tests affected our planet. Several nuclear tests were carried out by the US and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 60s.

Spacecraft studying Earth's magnetosphere collectively observed how solar particles reach the upper atmosphere and create glowing auroral beads in the night sky. (Image credit: ESA/ATG medialab) ...
