Scientists are assembling an online database with decades of low-frequency radio measurements collected worldwide to facilitate modern research about lightning, space weather, and more.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Infrared and radio observations reveal zonal winds moving faster than 2,000 kilometers per hour on a “failed star” in our celestial neighborhood.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
As instruments collecting solar data degrade, researchers must correct for errors. A new study compares several methods to correct solar spectral irradiance measurements.Read More »Planetary Sciences
A planet’s magnetic field usually protects its atmosphere from being blown away by its star. But new research suggests Mars’s weak magnetic field may have helped its atmosphere escape.Read More »
The transition of space weather science from research to operations needs a framework with both good science and a good dialogue with end users. Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
The gaseous atmospheres of giant planets may evaporate and accrete onto the dense surfaces of white dwarfs, providing astronomers a new way to detect hidden exoplanets.Read More »Planetary Sciences
When the lander MASCOT, carried by Hayabusa2, touched down on asteroid Ryugu, it did not detect a magnetic field, even though meteorites that are spectroscopically similar to Ryugu have trace of one.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Better forecasts of space-weather driven changes in thermospheric density are urgently needed to ensure safe management of the rapidly growing volume of space traffic in low Earth orbit.Read More »
