Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. A flyby of Uranus in 1986 is where we gathered much of our knowledge about the distant ice giant, but new research has ...

Like a supersonic jet being blasted with high-speed winds, Earth is constantly being bombarded by a stream of charged particles from the sun known as solar wind. Just like wind around a jet or water ...

A magnetosphere forms around any magnetized object, such as a planet, that is immersed within a stream of ionized gas, called plasma. Because Earth possesses an intrinsic magnetic field, the planet is ...

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters discusses a collaborative effort between the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). This study ...

San Antonio — Oct. 23, 2007 — Space physicists have long assumed that the magnetosphere at Jupiter circulates that planet’s magnetic field in the same way as Earth. At Earth, this circulation drives ...

Scientists report a method to study smaller magnetospheres, sometimes just millimeters thick, in the laboratory. The new experimental platform combines the magnetic field of the Large Plasma Device ...
