Understanding Jupiter's early evolution helps illuminate the broader story of how our solar system developed its distinct ...

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 combination of a dynamo-generated magnetic field and massive impacts could explain the highly magnetized rocks in some lunar regions.

Jupiter's early evolution and gravitational influence played a crucial role in shaping the solar system's structure and ...

The record sheds light on the climate early humans experienced when they were spreading out of Africa. A tree-ringed African ...

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

Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

Over time, the planet has shrunk to its current size as its surface cools. Then, the team used the radius to calculate the ...

The erupting magnetar observed by IXPE is known as 1E 1841-045, a neutron star located around 28,000 light-years from Earth ...
