Chorus waves are mysterious, chirping signals produced by spiraling plasma inside our planet's magnetic field. But a new detection suggests scientists may understand less about them than first thought ...

A solar explosion called a coronal mass ejection is poised to graze Earth on Friday or Saturday (Jan. 24 or Jan. 25), potentially triggering colorful auroras over the northern U.S.

Aurora chasers are on high alert for minor geomagnetic storm conditions from Jan. 24 through to Jan. 25. Northern lights might be visible over some northern and upper Midwest states.

A powerful solar eruption created striking auroras in the night sky around the planet on Oct. 10 and 11. See photos.

Such a situation exists only very rarely and was likely responsible for creating a plasma-free magnetosphere with the observed highly excited electron radiation belts. Jasinski and colleagues came to ...

An important consideration is how these fields interact with particles arriving from the sun or from even further into space. An example effect is the bow shock created as the magnetosphere passes ...

This outer, hotter atmosphere of the sun — only visible from Earth during ... “It’s no wonder that when one of them hits our magnetosphere, it causes havoc, like the super storms in May ...

The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has inaugurated a research centre at the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG) to digitise archived data from over 180-yr-old Colaba geomagnetic ...
