Magnetic tension and boundary geometry help determine where solar wind-driven waves grow around Earth’s magnetosphere.

This sent shockwaves through the science community. A shocking analysis of interstellar “tsunamis” has revealed where Earth’s ...

Even the calm-looking parts of the sun hide complicated magnetic structures. A balloon-borne telescope has revealed thin magnetic threads above areas without sunspots, offering new clues to how energy ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Oulu in Finland sheds light on a poorly understood part of space weather: ...

This animation shows magnetic activity in an exoplanet. The planet is a gas giant like Jupiter, but it’s very close to its host star and tidally locked: one side always faces the star and is scorching ...

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...
