The Power of Naming Space Weather Events

by Andrew Yau 10 July 20258 July 2025

Mother’s Day Storm? Why not! Bastille Day Storm? Mais oui! Space scientists make the case for a standardized naming convention for geomagnetic storms, to increase public awareness and preparedness.

Radio on Jupiter, Brought to You by Ganymede

by Andrew Yau 25 January 202127 January 2022

Another first from NASA’s Juno spacecraft: the detection of Jupiter radio emissions influenced by the moon Ganymede, over a range of about 250 kilometers in the polar region of Jupiter.

A Whistle Here, There, and Everywhere on the Giant Planet

by Andrew Yau 27 August 202010 March 2022

NASA’s Juno spacecraft is “hearing whistles” all over the place on Jupiter, a type of natural plasma waves called whistlers that are sometimes associated with atmospheric lightning.

All Hands on Deck to Catch Ion Cyclotron Waves

by Andrew Yau 7 August 202011 August 2022

An international armada of orbiting satellites and ground VLF network join forces to form a “magnetosphere-ionosphere observatory” to size up electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in the magnetosphere.

Power Outage When the Aurora Throws a Curve Ball

by Andrew Yau 7 July 202013 October 2021

Omega-band aurora carries fast propagating electric currents in the azimuthal direction, producing geomagnetically induced currents that can cause power outage on the ground beneath.

First Inside Look at Hot and Cold Ions in Jupiter’s Ionosphere

by Andrew Yau 23 September 201911 August 2022

The first in-situ ion observations from NASA’s Juno spacecraft reveal the surprising, simultaneous presence of cold protons and hot oxygen and sulfur ions in the high-latitude ionosphere of Jupiter.

Molecular Ions Unexpectedly Frequent in Earth’s Magnetosphere

by Andrew Yau 11 September 201913 April 2022

A Japanese satellite reveals rapid and surprisingly frequent transport of molecular ions from the ionosphere to the magnetosphere, under not only extreme but also moderate geomagnetic conditions.
