Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that ...

The moon is so volcanic because of tidal forces caused by gravitational interactions with Jupiter and its other large moons, Europa and Ganymede. Using its Microwave Radiometer, Juno detected heat ...

3, 2024 — Around 4 billion years ago, an asteroid hit the Jupiter moon Ganymede. Now, a researcher realized that the Solar System's biggest moon's axis has shifted as a result of the impact ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft snapped a stunning image of a cloud on Jupiter shaped like a dolphin, proving that even science has an ...

Enrico Chesta, Véronique Ferlet-Cavrois and Markus Brugger highlight seven ways CERN and ESA are working together to further ...

To get a global view of Earth’s magnetosphere, NASA’s Lunar Environment Heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) is set for a trip to the moon. Scheduled to take off from the Kennedy Space Center in or after ...

Loki Patera is 202 kilometres (126 mi) in diameter, covers 20,000 sq km (7,700 sq mi), and was the largest volcanic feature found on Io until these new observations revealed the hot spot in the south ...

These far-flung chorus waves were discovered using data from NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, which uses four identical satellites for studying the Earth’s magnetosphere.

They can significantly influence the dynamics of the magnetosphere and considerably affect human technological systems in the coupled magnetospheric and ionospheric system. For better prediction and ...

When an exoplanet is discovered, scientists are quick to describe it and explain its properties. Now, we know of thousands of them, many of which are members of a planetary system, like the well ...
