An extrapolation technique aims to address the gap between Hall effect thruster performance in space and in laboratory ...

The outbursts were found to be a two-speed, two-temperature blast. This finding drastically changes our view of conditions on ...

New research reveals how powerful coronal mass ejections may have been essential to the rise of life on planet Earth.

Researchers at Kyushu University have found that rising CO2 levels in our atmosphere could lead to future disruptions in ...

Astronomers have used simultaneous ground-based and space-based observations to measure the temperature and velocity of gas ...

NOAA's CCOR-1 coronagraph captured the blast that showed the sun's raw power in action.

Those space tornadoes can still harm Earth’s electrical grids and digital systems. Recently, researchers including UM climate and space scientist Chip Manchester designed a completely new simulation ...

Over 14,000 pieces of junk are clogging up low Earth orbit, but this number could be reduced by a new invention that involves a satellite using the plasma exhaust of its ion engine to knock dangerous ...

For the study, the researchers modeled the influence of “flux ropes,” which are relatively smaller, tornado-like spirals of plasma and magnetic fields on the Sun. These ropes typically aren’t strong ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. As it cannot be detected and studied using ...

Left: The RadioAstron Space VLBI mission combined a spaceborne radio telescope (Spektr-R) with 27 ground-based radio telescopes worldwide to create a virtual telescope five times the Earth’s diameter, ...
