A solar tsunami observed by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Japanese Hinode spacecraft has been used to provide the first accurate estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field. Solar tsunamis ...
A compass always points north—or does it? Magnets normally maintain a stable direction of magnetization, pointing from south ...
Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...
A view of the center of our galaxy shows the Sagittarius C (Sgr C) region, where cold dust (magenta) and warmer gas and dust (cyan) surround a cluster of massive stars. The stars generate high-speed ...
Many creatures in nature, including butterflies, newts and mole rats, use the Earth's inherent magnetic field lines and field intensity variations to determine their geographical position. A research ...
