Researchers have identified powerful Martian electrical discharges, similar to lightning, and strong enough to be observed from orbit.

A team of scientists from the University of Manchester and Oxford have synthesized stable nitrogen chain radical anions under ambient conditions. These molecules, which are normally too reactive to ...

Mars is not what it used to be. Once warm, watery, and blanketed by a thick atmosphere, today the Red Planet is cold, dry, and draped by a thin atmospheric veil. The main culprit is a relentless ...

The single whistler event was recorded over a crustal magnetic field, at an altitude of 349 kilometers (217 miles) on the night side of Mars. This last part is crucial: When under the direct glare of ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first vertical view of Uranus's upper atmosphere, delivering an unprecedented look at the planet's ionosphere and auroral structures. The new ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ...
