Jan. 7, 2025 — A researcher has used advanced models that indicate that the formation of Pluto and Charon may parallel that of the Earth-Moon system. Both systems include a moon that is a large ...

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

At first glimpse, it may seem like infant stars and supermassive black holes have very little in common. Infant stars, or "protostars," haven't yet gathered enough mass to trigger the nuclear ...

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Observations from the NSF VLA reveal a helical magnetic field in the HH 80-81 protostellar jet, similar to those in jets from supermassive black holes. This ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

Charon is large in size relative to Pluto, and is locked in a tight orbit with the dwarf planet. A new simulation suggests how it ended up there. By Jonathan O’Callaghan Some 4.5 billion years ...

It was originally developed for CERN scientists. Rolex Magnetic fields are one of the most common factors negatively affecting the accuracy of a mechanical watch. Internal watch parts made of metal ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s magnetic north and its chaotic and relatively unpredictable movements.

New research suggests that billions of years ago, Pluto may have captured its largest moon, Charon, with a very brief icy "kiss." The theory could explain how the dwarf planet (yeah, we wish Pluto ...

NASA is worried about the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). This anomaly affects Earth's magnetic field, which may pose risks to satellites and the International Space Station. The SAA is caused by ...
