A new study examines how much material from the closest star system to Earth will end up in orbit around the Sun, and how ...

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.

Geomagnetic storms also cause problems on Earth. The electric currents they create can overload power plants and cause ...

A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought. Scientists still have ...

Alas, the miracle could not last. The solar storms were heating Earth's upper atmosphere, causing it to inflate and increase ...

"Our Sun (Sol) is marked by a black hexagon, and its orbital path is indicated by a grey solid line (top row only). Alpha Centauri's location and path are shown by a yellow star and a solid blue line ...

Oumuamua and Comet Borisov in 2017 and 2019, respectively, created a surge of interest. What were they? Where did they come ...

A powerful solar storm in May 2024 led to the formation of two radiation belts, altering Earth's space environment.

The mysteries of Earth’s inner core have long been a topic of intrigue for scientists, with the planet’s central engine ...

Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...

NASA has announced that a large asteroid, estimated to be larger than a football field, is travelling towards Earth at high speed. Calculations indicate a higher-than-average chance of the asteroid ...

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous. They are generated by the Earth’s core. They are also produced by the electrical activity of the human brain. However, accurately measuring the direction of these ...
