...), the fundamental process of reconnection provided a pathway for the early Earth’s evaporated atmosphere to travel along the magnetic field lines all the way to the Moon, where the volatiles could be stored in the lunar soil - protected...
... analysis and predictions. A number of the instruments are designed to monitor the magnetic field of the Sun and so they need to be protected from any magnetic fields generated by the spacecraft. The spacecraft electronics and motors are a potential...
.... This variation is linked to Europa’s movement relative to Jupiter’s magnetic field. It is possible therefore that Jupiter’s magnetic field is inducing a corresponding magnetic field via a conductive layer - made from a salty ocean - under...
... Moon, Mars or elsewhere. On Earth we are protected from radiation by the mass of the Earth itself, then by the magnetic field and finally the atmosphere. Low Earth orbit (LEO), where the International Space Station is located, is protected...
.... Today, we know Carrington was observing a white light flare produced by a reconnection of magnetic field lines just above the sunspot. This reconnection reconfigured a magnetic loop, that had extended through the sunspot and to the solar atmosphere...
... Sun’s energetic output comes in many forms – high-energy protons and electrons, UV and X-ray radiation, embedded magnetic fields – all of which have a profound impact on the Earth’s space environment. Of particular concern are the transient sudden...
