The Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a joint mission between the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the European Space Agency (ESA) that aims to deepen the understanding ...

Solar flares are a fascinating thing and have a profound effect on what astronomers refer to as "space weather." These events vary with the sun's 11-year solar cycle, releasing immense amounts of ...

Main domains and boundaries of the degenerate magnetosphere and the near-Mars environment for a near-parallel IMF. Credit: Nature (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07959-z ...

Those particles would have dramatically affected the planet's magnetosphere and may explain some of the unexpected features in the data, although further analysis is needed before drawing any ...

For about five days every month, the Moon floats through Earth’s vast magnetosphere and sweeps up trapped atmospheric molecules wafting in its path. Those molecules readily stick to the Moon’s ...

CMEs carry electrically charged atoms, known as ions. When these ions collide with Earth's magnetosphere, they can trigger geomagnetic storms — major disturbances in Earth's magnetosphere.

Physical Activity, TV Time, and Waist Circumference Changes Less exercise and more time in front of the TV may add up to a larger waistline over time. Low-Active Male Adolescents: A Dose Response ...

SIRIUS will focus on the properties of hot plasmas in nearby stars, while Elfen will study the Earth’s magnetosphere and the effects of solar wind. Credit: SciTechDaily.com New proposed space missions ...
