We believe Mars may once have had oceans and sky, but lost them from a lack of a magnetosphere. How does this happen, and how can we create a magnetosphere for Mars so we can terraform and live on it?

Did ancient sunscreen and sewing needles save humanity? In a nutshell 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to ...

A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports.

Scientists now believe that solar bursts hit the largest planet of our solar system two to three times a month.

A trio of recently launched satellites will watch the sun's energy whack the Earth, helping us predict solar storms ...

A powerful solar storm has sent particles flowing from the sun that are interacting with Earth's magnetosphere in ways that are triggering the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis.

Generated by the flow of molten iron in the outer core, this field forms the magnetosphere—a vast bubble that deflects charged particles from the Sun. This protective layer allows Earth to ...

Scientists at the University of Reading have discovered a solar wind event from 2017 that hit Jupiter and compressed its magnetosphere—a protective bubble created by a planet's magnetic field.

A team of researchers recently documented stellar winds from the Sun, squishing the planet’s magnetosphere and raising the temperatures in the planet’s atmosphere by 300 degrees Fahrenheit ...

A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports. The discovery stemmed from an unusual temperature pattern scientists observed ...
