A diagram shows how the magnetosphere of Earths grows a magnetotail. (Image credit: NASA/Goddard/Aaron Kaase) As the solar wind smacks into the magnetosphere, it deforms this magnetic shield ...

As you probably know, Earth's magnetosphere, 'the invisible bubble of magnetic fields and electrically charged particles that surrounds and protects the planet from the periodically lethal ...

Dramatic changes to the solar wind alter the structure and dynamics of the magnetosphere. An example of such changes provides a glimpse into the behavior of other bodies in space, such as Jupiter ...

Researchers have detected fluctuations in Earth's magnetosphere created by the same tidal forces that the moon exerts on the oceans. The moon exerts a previously unknown tidal force on the "plasma ...

This connection acted as a highway transporting plasma between the magnetosphere and the Sun. The unique CME event offered new insights into how Alfvén wings form and evolve, the authors write.

Project Topic: Small Satellite Deployable Booms for Magnetosphere Testing Description: BOOM will design a deployable boom and sensor payload that can mount to a CubeSat and enable low-noise ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Short Wave hosts Regina Barber and Emily Kwong about the music of Earth's magnetosphere, a mission to Jupiter's icy moons, and a potential runaway supermassive black hole.

Jupiter’s magnetic field is some 20,000 times more powerful than Earth’s. Its magnetosphere is so large, it clashes with the solar wind millions of miles before the wind even reaches the gas ...

A full understanding of the penetration of solar wind plasma into the Earth’s magnetosphere, during geomagnetically quiet times, remains elusive. Using multi-spacecraft data, Shi et al.find ...
