Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

Unpredictable? Yes. Unstoppable? Absolutely.Aquarius, May 24 is dialed into your favorite frequency: future mode. With your ...

Where did the moon's magnetism go? Scientists have puzzled over this question for decades, ever since orbiting spacecraft ...

NOAA's GOES-16 satellite captured the sun blast a "huge rush of mass" that warped the magnetic field, according to the European Space Agency. See the footage here along with Solar and Heliospheric ...

According to NASA, the aurora on Earth may last only a few minutes, but on Saturn, it can last for days. In the 2010s, aurora ...

This animated GIF illustrates Uranus' magnetic field, with the yellow arrow pointing toward the Sun, the light blue arrow indicating the planet’s magnetic axis, and the dark blue arrow showing its ...

Some NASA scientists and engineers are already discussing sending a dedicated orbiter to Uranus in the coming decades. If built, that spacecraft could peel back even more layers of mystery: sampling ...

However, unlike these other planets, the glowing lights on Uranus are unique because of their unpredictable manner, which is due to the planet's tilted magnetic field. Thankfully, Hubble has observed ...

Uranus has a magnetic field that shields it from cosmic radiation, but at the magnetic poles, where the magnetic lines of force converge, energetic particles can reach the atmosphere and cause ...

Among them were some surprising facts, such as the fact that Uranus' magnetic field was highly tilted and shifted. By comparing measurements of this field, astronomers were able to estimate the planet ...
