To map the entire cluster for this novel survey, the team spent 224 hours collecting radio images.

What can an exoplanet’s magnetic field teach astronomers about an exoplanet’s atmosphere? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international team of ...

Magnetic signatures hidden inside rocks tell us a lot about Earth's magnetic field and the way continents and tectonic plates have shifted across millennia – but for some periods, the geological ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

Basalt sculptures from Guatemala display magnetic poles deliberately positioned at the navel and right temple, with precision ...

Image of the Sun taken from the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, showing the quiet corona and magnetic structures like coronal loops, which trace the intricate patterns of magnetic field lines ...

Primordial magnetic fields, billions of times weaker than a fridge magnet, may have left lasting imprints on the Universe. Researchers ran over 250,000 simulations to show how these fields shaped the ...

"Their magnetic fields—which arise from minuscule details of the planet's makeup—can tell us a lot about their formation and evolution, and the evolution of our universe." The team will incorporate ...

A new study suggests Ganymede—our neighborhood's biggest moon—still has a hot, churning core cranking out its unique magnetic field. Reading time 3 minutes Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar ...

Pigeons can sense Earth’s magnetic field by detecting tiny electric currents in their inner ears, a team of researchers suggests. Such an inner compass could help to explain how certain animals can ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...
