Earth’s magnetosphere – the region of space dominated by the planetary magnetic field – provides some protection for ...

NASA finally got two astronauts back to Earth after being stranded on the ISS for 9 months. Such long space missions can take ...

Earth’s magnetic field is not fixed—it drifts, flips, and even weakens over time, altering navigation and planetary protection from solar radiation. Since its discovery in 1831, magnetic north ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

Earth's magnetosphere - the region of space dominated by the planetary magnetic field - provides some protection for astronauts in missions in low-Earth orbit. But astronauts traveling beyond that ...

Scientists have explained everything that might happen to the two 'stranded' NASA astronauts' bodies when they finally return ...

DURING the last ascent of the balloon F.NM.S. (August 18, 1934), we had the opportunity of measuring with precision the intensity of cosmic rays at altitudes of about 12,000 m., 15,000 m.

Now, though, a controversial new paper warns that falling space junk could actually weaken Earth’s magnetic field. If that happens, the author of the paper argues that we could see atmospheric ...

NASA's 45-day post-mission rehabilitation program is designed to help astronauts recover from the physical effects of ...

NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams are returning to Earth after a prolonged nine-month stay at the ISS due to ...
