Systems science is a relatively new way of studying the magnetosphere. This perspective outlines the need for it and how it can contribute to our understanding and so give more reliable forecasts, ...

BepiColombo is a joint mission to explore the planet Mercury by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). On June 20, 2023 (JST), the spacecraft sped through ...

The uninterrupted stream of charged particles and magnetic fields that make up the solar wind dominates the interplanetary space. The solar wind is known to be highly variable and complex, consisting ...

Jupiter’s magnetosphere is one of the largest known phenomena in the solar system, stretching millions of kilometers toward the Sun and nearly a billion kilometers away from it. The area is dominated ...

Artist’s depiction of the Moon in the magnetosphere, with “Earth wind” made up of flowing oxygen ions (gray) and hydrogen ions (bright blue), which can react with the lunar surface to create water.

Earth's magnetosphere is a relatively round and symmetrical bubble, almost perfectly aligned with the planet's axis of rotation. Saturn's, however, is far from being so well-structured. By ...

The magnetosphere shields the surface of the Earth from the charged particles of the solar wind and is generated by electric currents located in different parts of the Earth. Vector diagram for ...
