Making a Magnetosphere for Mars
We believe Mars may once have had oceans and sky, but lost them from a lack of a magnetosphere. How does this happen, and how can we create a magnetosphere for Mars so we can terraform and live on it?
A historic solar storm in May 2024 not only triggered spectacular auroras but also created two new temporary radiation belts ...
Scintillation measurements show that FRB 20221022A originated from the highly magnetized region around a neutron star, challenging existing models of conditions there ...
Quasiperiodic (QP) very low frequency (VLF) emissions are intriguing phenomena observed in the Earth's magnetosphere, characterized by their periodic intensity modulation. These emissions are ...
Strange chorus waves, detected far from Earth, challenge existing theories and raise space mission safety concerns.
Magnetosonic (MS) waves, i.e., ion Bernstein mode waves, are one of the common plasma waves in the Earth’s magnetosphere, which are important for regulating charged particle dynamics. How MS waves ...
Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...
