By measuring the winds blowing on seven exoplanets, astronomers accidentally detected their magnetic fields. An unprecedented ...

The sun continuously blasts charged, magnetic field-carrying particles, or plasma, in all directions. This solar wind interacts with the magnetic fields and atmospheres of several of our solar ...

NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has confirmed, through nearly a decade of orbital observations, that solar wind physically strips gas from Mars’ upper atmosphere in a process called sputtering. That finding ...

(NEW YORK) — Mars is a cold, dry, desert-like planet. But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick atmosphere, which kept it warm enough to support flowing water on its ...

In a first-of-its-kind discovery, astronomers claim they have directly measured the magnetic fields of multiple planets beyond our solar system — potentially providing a crucial new tool in the search ...

This Thursday, Blue Origin successfully launched a pair of NASA spacecraft atop a New Glenn rocket from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The two spacecraft will study Mars' magnetic field ...

WASHINGTON: Based on the behaviour of winds on seven large and hot gas exoplanets, astronomers have obtained the strongest evidence to date that planets beyond our solar system possess magnetic fields ...
