As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. What causes this switch in polarity, and is it dangerous for anything on Earth? Let's take a deep dive into the ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...

Scientists have unlocked a previously unseen behavior of acoustic waves, opening up new possibilities for cutting-edge ...

In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscalar satellites, Liu and colleagues measured the distribution ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

The magnetic north pole has shifted over 400 km from Canada towards Russia in the past century due to changes in Earth's ...

Astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the three-dimensional structure ...
