Solar radio bursts are background noise for satellite-based radio observations that monitor soil moisture, so, with appropriate processing, those observations can provide data on radio bursts.Read More »Planetary Sciences
Juno spacecraft observations provide the first global description of dawn storms in Jupiter’s aurorae, from their initiation to their end.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
The wave-like features in the pre-midnight ionosphere are not moving, vary strongly from day-to-day, and are often associated with the equatorial plasma bubbles, but their origin is still unknown.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Energetic electrons are accelerated directly by magnetic reconnections and can act as tracers of large-scale magnetic field conditions.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
For researchers who monitor the effects of solar activity on Earth’s atmosphere, telecommunications, and electrical utilities, amateur radio signals a golden age of crowdsourced science.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
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.Read More »
As the number of satellites in low Earth orbit grows by leaps and bounds, accurate calculations of the effects of atmospheric drag on their trajectories are becoming critically important.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Thom Moore began his career after the start of the space age. This is the story of how he converted his interests in evolution, philosophy, and psychology and writing into the study of heliophysics.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
When plasma particle velocity distributions have multiple, distinct parts, treating each as a separate beam may yield more intuitive results.Read More »
