The moon may be silent and still today, but billions of years ago, it likely crackled with magnetic activity. Though the moon ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly ...

Stars have magnetic fields that initially get stronger as the speed of the star’s rotation increases. There are still aspects ...

Mars' global magnetic field may have hung around for 200 million years longer than scientists had thought, possibly giving life a longer window to take hold on the Red Planet. When you purchase ...

The magnetic fields of both planets, which are not that far apart in mass, are not dipolar. Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn all have dipolar magnetic fields, meaning they have a north and south pole ...

In the planet’s 4.6-billion-year history, the field has frequently flipped, swapping magnetic north and south, and some research suggests that another flip may be on the geological horizon.

A new simulation suggests a massive asteroid impact may have briefly supercharged the moon's magnetic field, leaving behind ...

Jupiter may have once been more than twice its current size, with a magnetic field 50 times stronger, say scientists who ...

Deciphering the universe’s secrets is partly done through observation, but just as important are solid models of the forces ...

That's because the gas giant has something of an advantage: the planet's strong magnetic field is capable of grabbing charged particles from not only the sun, but its orbiting moon Io. Io is an ...

You don't need us to tell you that Jupiter, which has more than twice the mass of all the other planets in the Solar System ...
