The Moon passes through Earth’s extended magnetic field—known as the geotail—for about four days during each orbit. It was previously thought that plasma levels would drop during this time because the ...

The temperature difference between the North Pole and the equator maintains the polar vortex's strong west-to-east winds over winter. However, sudden warming in the stratosphere can bring this ...

While this evolutionary approach is effective, it assumes geomagnetic invariance, which is often not the case during regular low-altitude flights where the geomagnetic field is dynamic and complex. To ...

orbiter – which is in good health and providing data - have revealed that the Moon’s ionosphere exhibits unexpectedly high electron densities when it enters the Earth’s geomagnetic tail. This finding ...

During a geomagnetic storm, the ionosphere-thermosphere system undergoes severe disturbances, seriously affecting satellite orbits and radio propagation. The May 2024 superstorm was the most ...

TOKYO :Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda called for global cooperation on Wednesday, saying geopolitical tension could impact financial stability such as by causing sudden reversals of cross ...

The fact that a single river could realign its flow so drastically is a reminder of the restless forces that shape Earth’s surface. This massive reversal wasn’t just a geological twist; it had ...

A reversal would see the geomagnetic field temporarily weaken ... will need to be factored into models of the deep Earth to determine if it might lead to an unstable geomagnetic field.

When this solar material reaches Earth, geomagnetic storms and the northern lights can occur. The best viewing times will be from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., according to the NOAA, adding that light ...
