Learn how starquakes, subtle vibrations inside stars, revealed hidden magnetic fields in red giants and how this stellar ...

What's behind the odd magnetic fields observed around ice giants? Why, quasi-1D superionic hydrogen, of course.

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

For the first time, new theoretical models, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, connect the magnetism at the surface of ...

Just as the amplified magnetic field peaked, these electrons settled again, locking in the strong field’s direction. Benjamin Weiss, an MIT professor and study co-author, explains the process like ...

Saturn’s magnetic shield is unexpectedly lopsided, with its entry point for solar particles pushed off-center. Scientists believe its fast spin and material from its moon Enceladus are warping the ...

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

Scientists analyzing data from the Cassini-Huygens mission have identified an unexpected feature in Saturn’s magnetic shield.
