If we're to land humans on Mars in the coming decades, we'll have to know what challenges await them when they get there.

The degradation of the magnetosphere under these conditions could result in more of Mars’ thin atmosphere being stripped away into space, accelerating atmospheric loss.

First came the surprising discovery that Earth’s atmosphere is leaking. But for roughly 60 years, the reason remained a mystery. Since the late 1960s, satellites over the poles detected an ...

It is hoped that further missions will find out more details about Venus' atmosphere, magnetosphere, and surface, revealing the secrets of our planetary neighbor's past.

If we're to land humans on Mars in the coming decades, we'll have to know what challenges await them when they get there. Enter M-MATISSE, a potential precursor to a crewed mission to the Red Planet.

The magnetosphere is composed of charged particles that have escaped from Earth’s upper atmosphere and charged particles that have entered from the solar wind.

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 theoretical new paper argues that atmospheric metal pollution from falling space junk could create an invisible conductive shield around our planet that might weaken our magnetosphere. However ...

The NASA-funded mission will launch two twin spacecraft to explore Mars' magnetosphere and how it interacts with solar wind.

Unlike Earth, the moon doesn’t have a protective atmosphere or magnetosphere, which shields the planet from solar or cosmic particle radiation, NASA says.

Hidden Planet Scientists just discovered why Earth’s atmosphere is leaking It turns out the mysterious force is a previously undiscovered global electric field.
