The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...
A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...
Experts warn that "something" in the core of the Earth is causing the magnetic pole to shift. North Pole is shifting toward Siberia and raising concern ...
Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...
Since its launch on March 12, 2015, NASA’s MMS, or Magnetospheric Multiscale, mission has been rewriting our understanding of magnetic reconnection, a key physical process that is important across the ...
"EZIE is the first mission dedicated exclusively to studying the electrojets," Larry Kepko, an EZIE mission scientist at NASA ...
Scientists have confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections in the ...
Like bar magnets, Earth has a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole. The lines of Earth’s magnetic field point from one pole to the other. When the solar wind approaches Earth ...
High-speed winds from a spot on the sun’s surface may affect Earth’s magnetic field, pulling the phenomenon further south.
