For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At most, Earth's magnetic field may have remained at 25 percent of its current ...

Planets originate from protoplanetary disks, circulating disks of gas and dust that develop around young stars, a recent ...

Astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the three-dimensional structure ...

Scientists are astounded by Earth's magnetic field. It Is Shifting Toward Siberia and Raising Questions About Unusual ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a ...

Thus, understanding the magnetic fields is important for understanding planet formation, but so far it has not been possible to measure the magnetic fields in a protoplanetary disk.

Instead, magnetic north is the changing location where the planet’s magnetic field lines converge. This field is generated by the churning of the planet’s outer core, a layer of molten iron and nickel ...

It’s neither fast nor food, but a spectacular object called HH 30 looks appetizing for astronomers in a new image from the ...
