NASA's MMS Mission Marks 10 Years of Magnetic Reconnection Discoveries
NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has completed a decade of discoveries, advancing the study of magnetic reconnection—a crucial process in space physics. The four-satellite fleet has enabled over 1,500 research papers, refining theories and revealing unexpected reconnection locations. The mission has also set records for GPS tracking...

Chorus Waves Found Far From Earth Raise Concerns for Space Exploration
Chorus waves, energetic electromagnetic bursts resembling bird chirps, have been detected 100,000 miles from Earth, far beyond their usual range. NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites observed these waves in a flatter region of Earth's magnetosphere, contradicting prior assumptions about their formation near strong magnetic gradients. The wav...
