Solar wind generate atmospheric sodium at Mercury

Mercury is the only planet in the solar system that is directly affected by the sun's solar wind. At a distance of barely 1,000 kilometres from Mercury's surface, the planet's magnetic field deflects the sun's stream of electrically charged particles, a location known as...

Researchers discover new magnetic phenomenon with industrial potential

Probing the world of the very small is a wonderland for physicists. At this nanoscale, materials as thin as 100 atoms are studied and unexpected phenomena are discovered. Nature ceases to behave in a way that is predictable by the macroscopic law of physics....

Scientists explain mysterious finger-like features in solar flares

Scientists observed mysterious motions within a solar flare in 1999. This flare has bright energy erupting outwards from the Sun. It solar flare  also displayed a downward flow of motion. This looks like as if material was falling back towards the Sun. Scientists have described...

NASA’s HERMES mission passes key milestone

NASA's HERMES mission a four-tool suite to be set up outside of NASA's Moon-orbiting Gateway has passed a critical venture assessment on Jan 27, 2022. The review, Key Decision Point C, evaluated the project's preliminary layout and software plan to gain launch by its target...

Scientists found oxygen ions in Jupiter’s innermost radiation belts

Earth, Jupiter and Saturn have global magnetic fields of their own. These are surrounded by so-called radiation belts. These belts are trapped in the magnetic field. These have fast moved charged particles like electrons, protons and heavier ions whiz around. These forms invisible and...

North Pole solar eclipse excited auroras of the South Pole

New study suggested that a solar eclipse over the Arctic changes auroras in both of Earth's hemispheres. This happened because of connections through the planet's magnetic field. This finding will help scientists to predict changes in the near-Earth environment which interfere with satellite communication. The...
