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 radiation ...

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

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.

Two University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists have discovered a new type of "whistler," an electromagnetic wave that carries a substantial amount of lightning energy to the Earth's magnetosphere. The ...

A magnetosphere forms around any magnetized object, such as a planet, that is immersed within a stream of ionized gas, called plasma. Because Earth possesses an intrinsic magnetic field, the planet is ...

One of the features of Earth that is critical to protecting life as we know it is the magnetosphere. The Earth's magnetosphere is a magnetic field that protects the planet from the constant ...

Planet Earth is surrounded by a system of magnetic fields known as the magnetosphere. This vast, comet-shaped system deflects charged particles coming from the sun, shielding our planet from harmful ...

Researchers have created pictures showing how solar storms compress our planet's protective magnetic field. The findings could help improve communications satellite design. Martin LaMonica is a senior ...

San Antonio — Oct. 23, 2007 — Space physicists have long assumed that the magnetosphere at Jupiter circulates that planet’s magnetic field in the same way as Earth. At Earth, this circulation drives ...
