Earth has a global magnetic field that’s flinging tiny bits of our atmosphere out into space. Researcher’s from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center recently launched a rocket high into the sky over the ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Scientists launched a rocket from Svalbard, Norway, that measured Earth’s ambipolar electric field for the first time. The weak field may control the shape and evolution of the upper atmosphere and ...

Scientists at NASA have uncovered evidence of a new electric field encircling Earth, a discovery that could shed light on the mysterious supersonic particle winds erupting from the planet’s poles.

When the Sun hurls a major storm toward us, the damage is not limited to pretty auroras and patchy radio. In the most extreme events, the blast can gouge deep into the invisible plasma cocoon that ...

NASA’s TRACERS mission begins early science measurements in Earth’s southern polar cusp, tracking magnetic reconnection and ...
