NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope used its Near-Infrared Spectrograph to capture Neptune’s auroras in stunning detail.
The James Webb Space Telescope identified the lights in the distant planet’s atmosphere, which could not be seen by earlier ...
For the first time, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured bright auroral activity on Neptune. Auroras occur when energetic particles, often originating from the Sun, become trapped in a ...
Hints of auroras were first faintly detected in ultraviolet light during a flyby of the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1989.
The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, builds on work the team conducted back in 2016 and an idea ...
"It was so stunning to not just see the auroras, but the detail and clarity of the signature really shocked me." ...
For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity.
According to scientists, this ambipolar electric field is thought to be just as crucial to Earth as both gravity and ...
American researchers have measured a tiny electrical voltage by exploiting Earth's magnetic field in the planet's rotational motion. This discovery, though modest, revives a scientific debate ...
