What if Earth had massive rings like Saturn? Our skies would never look the same, with stunning celestial views stretching across the horizon. But how would these rings affect our climate, tides, and ...

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

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

Earth's inner core has changed shape over the past 20 years. A team of scientists studied the core's behavior to understand why its rotation slowed down ...

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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought to be forming. The team was able to use dust to measure the three-dimensional structure ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves. When converted to audio signals, though, these strange ...

Since 2021, the end zones in many NFL games have featured the words "End Racism" emblazoned on the white-painted grass. But for this year's Super Bowl, don't expect to see the slogan there. On ...

Physicists have now discovered two types of sensors in animals that can detect magnetic fields close to the quantum limit, information that could improve our own design of magnetometer devices. In ...

Mike Sorrentino is a Senior Editor for Mobile, covering phones, texting apps and smartwatches -- obsessing about how we can make the most of them. Mike also keeps an eye out on the movie and toy ...
