How does a compass work in space? From the moon to Venus, here’s how a compass would work beyond Earth’s magnetic field.

The fact that you can't breathe on the moon probably isn't surprising. That said, the moon does have an atmosphere; it's just very different than Earth's.

than the slower wind from other parts of the sun. When the fast solar wind from a coronal hole reaches Earth, it can interact with our planet’s magnetosphere, sometimes triggering geomagnetic ...

This even distribution of hydrogen is thought to be key to developing scalable radiation shields for both spacecraft and the ...

that emerge from the sun's outermost atmosphere, the corona. These ejections can collide with Earth’s magnetosphere, the barrier protecting humanity from the harshest effects of space weather ...

A vast 500,000 mile-wide coronal hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere ... also be spectacular displays of aurora caused as the Earth's magnetosphere is disturbed by the solar wind.

The phenomenon of auroras occurs when charged particles from the Sun collide with Earth's magnetic field. These particles travel along the lines of the magnetosphere toward Earth's north and south ...

The Valentine's Day northern lights will largely be visible in Canada and Alaska, but a few northern-most states may see the ...
