At the right point of the orbit and stellar cycle, the star’s chromosphere brightens.

Researchers have developed a novel technique to investigate the dynamics of the early Solar System by analyzing magnetites in meteorites utilizing the wave nature of electrons. Within meteorites, the ...

Missions to the moon, missions to Mars, robotic explorers to the outer solar system, a mission to the nearest star, and maybe even a spacecraft to catch up to interstellar objects passing through our ...

Based on the behavior of winds on seven large and hot gas exoplanets, astronomers have obtained the strongest evidence to ...

A researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has published a ...

The northern lights could mean lights out for the infrastructure we rely on.

In a first-of-its-kind discovery, astronomers claim they have directly measured the magnetic fields of multiple planets beyond our solar system — potentially providing a crucial new tool in the search ...

A solar storm is a sudden explosion of particles, energy, magnetic fields and material blasted into the solar system by the ...

The very low Energy Efficiency seems to make it not worthwhile. It is important to have station keeping like the Quasite system but this can also be dynamically maintained. The low efficiency makes ...

Solar Orbiter has made the first ever remote sensing observation consistent with a magnetic phenomenon called a solar switchback—sudden and large deflections of the solar wind's magnetic field. The ...

Both inside and outside the solar system, aurorae light up the skies of planets, moons, and a variety of other celestial objects. With their emissions ranging from X-ray to radio wavelengths, aurorae ...
