Scientists thought Earth’s magnetic shield had a limit, then they found a problem with the math
A new study suggests that Earth’s magnetic shield may have been hiding the true power of extreme solar storms. Researchers ...
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 dipole magnetic field, created by a ring current, is the most fundamental type of magnetic field that is found both in laboratories and in space. Planetary magnetospheres, such as Jupiter's, ...

Saturn’s magnetosphere is more lopsided than Earth’s
A new study built on six years of NASA Cassini spacecraft data has quantified a striking imbalance in Saturn’s magnetosphere, finding that the planet’s polar cusp regions are distributed far more ...
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 ...
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) are targeting tonight, Monday, May 18, at 11:52 p.m. EST for the launch of the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link ...
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 ...
