Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, has a unique and dynamic magnetosphere that interacts significantly with solar wind—a stream of charged particles released from the Sun. Understanding ...
For better prediction and mitigation of the consequences of space weather events, it is essential to apply a holistic approach which incorporates studying the generation and evolution of these solar ...
As a result of the lack of solar wind, the pressure decrease caused Mars's atmosphere and magnetosphere to expand by thousands of kilometers, tripling in size. It also sent a supersonic shockwave ...
NASA’s LEXI to study Earth’s magnetosphere with X-ray technology LEXI mission explores solar wind’s impact on Earth’s protective shield LEXI will help predict geomagnetic storms affecting satellites ...
A massive 500,000-mile coronal hole on the Sun is sending high-speed solar wind toward Earth, increasing the risk of geomagnetic storms that could disrupt satellites and power grids.
