Several missions under contracts with NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program are planned for this year.

The Martian dichotomy came to light in the 1970s following the Viking Probe's transmission of remarkably detailed Martian ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...

Her current research area involves modelling the Martian radiation environment throughout the atmosphere and subsurface and determining what effect crustal magnetic fields, dust storms and clouds in ...

Kevin Lewis, an assistant professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, will give a talk titled, "The First Billion Years on Mars: Insights from Crustal and ...

"It's been such a puzzle that there was liquid water on Mars, because Mars is further from the sun, and also, the sun was fainter early on." New research suggests that temperatures on ancient Mars ...

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, as the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially being changed, continuing its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.

the magnetic north pole of the planet is decided by Earth's magnetic field, which is constantly moving and never static. Scientists noted that over the past few years, the movement of the magnetic ...
