Close to the sun, the solar wind, a steady stream of charged particles, accelerates until it cannot turn back. During a record pass about 3.8 million miles above the surface, Parker Solar Probe ...

Nearly 50 years after launch, a pair of aging spacecraft have stumbled into one of the strangest regions ever measured in ...

Earth’s magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen appear to have moved in sync for half a billion years, pointing to a surprising connection between the planet’s deep interior and life-supporting ...

Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, offering direct evidence of how small disturbances combine into larger solar ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

Solar wind sounds poetic, but it's a very real and powerful phenomenon, connecting the Sun to every part of our solar system.

An SwRI-led study identified particles accelerated to extremely high energies by magnetic reconnection near the Sun. As NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (trajectory shown in green) crossed the heliospheric ...

There may be more northern lights – or aurora borealis – sightings this spring. As we near the spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, on March 20, the Earth's magnetic field and solar wind ...

The Moon’s magnetic record encapsulates a complex interplay between internal dynamo processes, impact-induced magnetisation, and the persistent influence of the solar wind. Lunar magnetism, as ...
