Now, though, a controversial new paper warns that falling space junk could actually weaken Earth’s magnetic field. If that happens ... more susceptible to the solar radiation that the Sun ...

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 ...

These include particles trapped in Earth's magnetic field, solar magnetic particles from the Sun and the galactic cosmic rays.

and power grids on Earth. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com Scientists have confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections in the sun’s ...

One theory is that around 4.5 billion years ago, our Solar System consisted ... Driving Earth’s tectonic plate movement and powering its magnetic field requires an immense amount of power.

According to NASA, astronauts are primarily exposed to three types of radiation: particles trapped in Earth’s magnetic field, solar energetic particles from the Sun, and galactic cosmic rays. Williams ...

The satellite also obtained the world's first spectral lines of the Sun's H-Alpha waveband, neutral silicon atoms and neutral iron atoms, said Zhao Jian, chief designer of the China's high-resolution ...

The new solar storm is caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are explosions of particles leaving the Sun. When these particles arrive on Earth, they disrupt its magnetic field.

While this might sound alarming, most of them are prevented from reaching the Earth’s surface by our planet’s natural forcefield (its atmosphere and magnetic field). However, in some cases ...

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

A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic ...
