A groundbreaking X-ray imager is on its way to revolutionize our understanding of Earth's magnetic defenses. This ...

For several years, astronomers have been studying the impact of the solar wind striking the magnetopause, which defines the outer edges of the magnetosphere. Prior research has shown that as the ...

which correlate with the state of the magnetopause—the boundary between Jupiter's magnetosphere and the solar wind [2]. This research helps clarify the relationship between solar wind conditions ...

This happens at the edge of the magnetosphere, called the magnetopause. Researchers have recently been able to detect these X-rays in a patchwork of observations from other satellites and instruments.

A variety of observations from satellites and other instruments have captured bits of the magnetosphere’s border, also called the magnetopause, from various vantage points in the past. By catching the ...

Firefly Aerospace's soon-to-launch Blue Ghost moon lander will help NASA better understand our home planet, and how it responds to space weather.
