Nearly two centuries after Faraday's failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

The space agency's satellites ... as they loop around the planet at low-Earth orbit altitudes. During these encounters, the reduced magnetic field strength inside the anomaly means technological ...

Pictures may enliven us, but other data, such as information about magnetic fields, add a huge amount to our understanding of ...

Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are gearing up to return toE Earth on Tuesday after an unexpected nine months aboard the ISS, ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists from Beihang University in China have detected a phenomenon typically associated with Earth's magnetic field 100,000 kilometres (62,000 miles) beyond our ...

"EZIE is the first mission dedicated exclusively to studying the electrojets," Larry Kepko, an EZIE mission scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said in a statement. "It does ...

NASA astronauts are returning to Earth after nine months in space. Experts have said a prolonged period in space can come ...

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S ...

But as you venture farther and farther into space, the compass behavior can change ... magnetosphere — which is some 20,000 times the strength of Earth’s. Meanwhile, Saturn’s magnetic field is nearly ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

The effect known as 'Russell-McPherron' is down to the alignment of the Sun and Earth around the spring and autumn equinox and means that you are twice as likely to see the aurora in spring and autumn ...
