Magnetosheath jets on Earth are plasma entities that have a higher dynamic pressure surrounding the plasma and can cause waves that transfer energy within such environments. Such jets also exist ...

A team of astrophysicists and astronomers from Harbin Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University and Peking University has found evidence from Voyager 2 data showing that Jupiter has at least ...

The magnetic field of our planet produces a tailed bubble that mostly protects us from cosmic and solar radiation. This is the magnetosphere. As the solar wind – the flow of charged particles from the ...

Scientists from the University of Leicester have taken an important first step in developing an innovative telescope which could one day be deployed on the Moon. The telescope is called MagEX, which ...

NASA's Voyager 2 probe, launched over four decades ago, collected data in 1978 that suggests the possibility of jets existing above other planets. Reading time 3 minutes There are jets in Jupiter’s ...

Despite its 484-million-mile (778 million kilometers) distance, the Sun still has a measurable impact on Jupiter, generating jets of plasma around the planet. But it turns out they’ve been hiding from ...

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process in plasmas, through which the magnetic energy is converted into plasma kinetic energy and thermal energy rapidly. Current sheets in turbulent ...

Schematic view of planetary material escaping through Venus magnetosheath flank. The red line and arrow show the region and direction of observations by BepiColombo when the escaping ions (C+, O+, H+) ...
