The moving metals in Earth's core create the planet's magnetic field. Our planet sits in a small corner of the Milky Way galaxy, 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's center. Our solar system lives ...

All of which is to say there’s plenty of teams rising and falling in our latest edition of Bracketology projecting the field of 68. The Big Ten is one conference responsible for much of the ...

We’ve been observing this building for a couple of years now: seemingly simple, perhaps even unassuming, it fits in ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, the Moon's passage through Earth's magnetic field, or "geotail," does not lead to lower plasma densities. Listen to Story Scientists from the Space Physics Laboratory ...
