How does a compass work in space? From the moon to Venus, here’s how a compass would work beyond Earth’s magnetic field.

And in theory, there should be chorus waves in the magnetic field of every planet that has one, even if it’s a little messy (so far they’ve already been observed around Jupiter and Saturn). And ...

This ionized material is then rapidly expelled under the influence of Saturn's magnetic field, either being drawn toward the planet itself or ejected outside the rings. This process helps maintain the ...

Saturn’s iconic rings are vanishing this year and won’t be visible again until 2028. Saturn is famed for its icy rings, but an astrophysicist warns they will disappear from Earth’s view next ...

Non-mixing layers of water and hydrocarbons thousands of miles deep could explain the icy planets’ strange magnetic fields.

NASA’s Galileo spacecraft, which was designed to study the large, gaseous planet Jupiter and its moons, first caught hints of ...

M iles upon miles overhead, there is a field in the atmosphere that shields the Earth from space energies that could be ...

Scientists predict some jaw-dropping events heading our way. Get ready for Earth's magnetic field to do a fliparoo, which could mean crazy geomagnetic storms and power outages galore. Plus, in 40,000 ...

Are you destined for greatness? Astrologers share seven telltale signs that you are. Grab your birth chart and get ready to ...

Moreover, chorus waves, already observed around planets like Jupiter and Saturn, could exist in other regions of space with a magnetic field. This hypothesis raises new questions about plasma physics ...

They’ve also been found around other planets with magnetic fields, such as Saturn and Jupiter. The leading idea suggests these waves are caused by plasma instability—ionized gas that’s ...
