A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

A new study reveals that magnetic fields in the early universe were likely billions of times weaker than those of a small fridge magnet. According to an international team of researchers, the strength ...

Gas-giant planets orbiting close to other stars have powerful magnetic fields, many times stronger than our own Jupiter, according to a new study by a team of astrophysicists. It is the first time the ...

A controversial technique has produced detailed maps of the magnetic fields in colossal galaxy clusters. If confirmed, the approach could be used to reveal where cosmic magnetic fields come from. By ...

Jupiter and Saturn, these two giant and gaseous planets, are similar in size but present a striking contrast: their moon ...

We don't know how magnetic fields in the cosmos formed. Now a new theoretical research tells how the invisible part of our universe could help us find out, suggesting a primordial genesis, even within ...

An ancient structure appeared to a telescopic array in the Chilean highlands, but astronomers don’t yet fully understand what they’ve discovered. Researchers found the oldest case of a galactic ...

After a year in orbit, the three Swarm satellites have provided a first glimpse inside Earth and started to shed new light on the dynamics of the upper atmosphere all the way from the ionosphere about ...
