A new study on Saturn's aurorae has been published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Aurorae on Earth and other planets are formed by powerful currents flowing into the atmosphere from the ...
The breathtaking celestial displays known as the aurorae — the aurora borealis in the Northern Hemisphere and the aurora australis in the Southern Hemisphere — are truly magnificent natural phenomena.
Scientists using ESA’s Mars Express have produced the first crude map of aurorae on Mars. These displays of ultraviolet light appear to be located close to the residual magnetic fields generated by ...
An international multidisciplinary team consisting of solar physicists, geophysicists, and historians from nine countries analysed observations of an extreme solar-terrestrial storm reported in ...
