Since its launch on March 12, 2015, NASA’s MMS, or Magnetospheric Multiscale, mission has been rewriting our understanding of magnetic reconnection, a key physical process that is important across the ...

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have performed high-resolution observations of a nearby ...

Scientists have confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections in the ...

Indian scientists report flareless coronal mass ejection observations from the Sun using VELC instrument on Aditya-L1 mission ...

Meanwhile, the longer, bigger flares may occur due to magnetic reconnection events, or when two different magnetic fields collide near the black hole and release energetic particles moving near ...

The disc of plasma surrounding the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is constantly emitting flares both large and small.

Using data collected by NASA's Juno spacecraft as it flew past Jupiter's highly volcanic moon Io in late 2023 and again in ...

Yusef-Zadeh attributed the larger, brighter flares to “magnetic reconnection events,” or when two different magnetic fields collide, releasing particles that move near the speed of light.

Our research group at LASP has built, or is currently building, electric field and wave instruments on five NASA missions including, FAST (Earth's aurora), THEMIS (Earth's magnetosphere), RBSP ...

and magnetic reconnection events, which trigger the light eruptions. The team has also revealed plans to conduct more detailed research by observing Sgr A* for an extended period. It was ...
