Magnetic activity on the Sun leads to solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other space weather that affects Earth. Similar activity on other stars...
Brown dwarfs are cool, dim objects that have a size between that of a gas giant, such as Jupiter or Saturn, and that of a Sun-like star. Sometimes called...
Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, beaming out huge jets of light-emitting plasma, which travel through space at 0.99...
Uranus possesses an intrinsic magnetic field that encircles the ice giant and influences the local space environment. The solar wind plasma, made up of...
In a new study published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, a team of researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the...
In a paper in the journal Physical Review Letters, an international team of physicists reports the most precise measurement ever made of the electric dipole...
Using data from the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) onboard ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory, astronomers have detected for the first time a...
