Scientists use sounding rockets to show that small oscillations in electric fields can be just as important for atmospheric Joule heating as the presence of the electric field itself.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
An encouraging new study finds that solar storms don't propagate chaotically like hurricanes—their arrivals are more predictable, which should make it easier for our planet to prepare for them.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
For years, scientists have proposed upgrading the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's solar storm forecasts to account for their tilt as they streak toward Earth. But does it help?Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
A quartet of satellites flying through Earth's magnetic field measures its interaction with the Sun's and puts a theory about their reconnection to the test.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
As federal agencies look to slash costs, facilities become obvious targets. But cutting funds to these vital programs may have far-reaching consequences.Read More »
