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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

When two probes orbiting the sun aligned with one another, researchers harnessed the opportunity to track the sun's magnetic field as it traveled into the solar system. They found that the sharply ...

For the first time, scientists believe they have captured direct evidence of the mechanisms that trigger a solar flare. These massive explosions, generated by the Sun, release staggering amounts of ...

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

Solar wind generated by the sun is probably driven by a process involving powerful magnetic fields, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers based on the latest ...

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 ...

Space looks empty until you try to cross it. Far beyond Pluto, where sunlight is faint and the planets are long behind, ...
