Spacecraft To Probe How Earth Fends Off Raging Solar Winds
Particularly fierce solar storms can knock out satellites, threaten astronauts - and create colourful auroras in the skies of northern and southern latitudes.

Scientists Reveal Moon's Magnetic Mystery And Its Surprisingly Powerful Past
According to Nichols and his team, such strong magnetic field events were rare and lasted only a few thousand years.

NASA Shares Photo Of Dazzling Green Auroras Captured From Space Station
According to NASA, auroras are produced when charged particles from the Sun collide with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.

Study Reveals Why Some Auroras Have Breathtaking Wave Patterns
Increased solar wind and coronal mass ejections can lead to more intense and dynamic auroras.

Parts Of US Could See Northern Lights Today
The aurora could be visible across Canada and much of the northern tier of US states — and possibly farther south — Monday night following a major disturbance in the Earth's magnetic field, a forecast shows.

ISRO's Aditya-L1 Study Reveals How October 2024 Solar Storm Affected Earth's Magnetic Field
ISRO scientists and research students studied the solar storm using observations from India's Aditya-L1 mission.

Earth Has Been Sending Particles From Atmosphere To Moon For Billions Of Years, Study Finds
The process, which existed for billions of years, would eventually turn lunar soil into a long-running archive of Earth's atmosphere.

Study Reveals Earth's Atmosphere Has Been Reaching The Moon For Billions Of Years
In 2005, researchers at the University of Tokyo proposed that some elements from Earth's upper atmosphere might have escaped and reached the Moon.

Massive Sunspot Complex on the Sun Raises Risk of Strong Solar Storms
A massive sunspot complex has appeared on the Sun, covering an area comparable to the legendary Carrington Event region. Known as AR 4294-96, the active cluster features highly tangled magnetic fields that could unleash powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and global communications if Earth-d...

Ancient Fossils Show Animals Used Earth's Magnetic Field For GPS-Like Navigation
They observed that the structure of tiny magnetic fields generated by the rotating electrons indicates that the organisms that created these fossils possessed magnetoreception.

Study Reveals Moon Has A Solid Iron-Like Core, Solves Long-Standing Space Mystery
The Moon's magnetic field was once quite strong, but about 3.2 billion years ago.

Cannibal Solar Storm May Trigger Auroras as Powerful Geomagnetic Storm to Hit Earth Soon
Between Sept. 1–2, Earth will be struck by a powerful geomagnetic storm caused by a rare “cannibal” solar eruption. The event formed when a fast coronal mass ejection (CME) overtook and consumed an earlier one, creating a stronger, chaotic cloud. As this storm interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, it may produce vivid auroras visible far b...
