A NASA satellite that suddenly reappeared after going silent gets credit for the remarkable discovery—a pair of temporary ...

Mars may be our next great frontier, but it's not as welcoming as it seems. Without a thick atmosphere or magnetic field, the ...

For most of my life I believed, and most everybody believes, that the Earth is billions of years old. A couple months ago I inquired the Minnesota Geological Survey as to how it knows the rocks ...

Scientists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism behind low-field magnetars, showing that supernova fallback material ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

Radiation belts are a normal part of the architecture of a planet with a global magnetic field. Stars are constantly leaking particles, borne by a stellar wind; these stream out and, where they ...

Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

Astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the three-dimensional structure ...

A large team of researchers working on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Collaboration, which has been analyzing eleven years' ...

Understanding how and when Earth, Jupiter, other planets in the Solar System, and numerous exoplanets formed within our ...

An international team of scientists have modelled formation and evolution of strongest magnetic fields in the Universe.
