Despite the absence of a global Earth-like magnetic dipole, the Martian atmosphere is well protected from the effects of the solar wind on ion escape from the planet. New research shows this using ...

New Earth-based telescope observations show that auroras at Jupiter’s poles are heating the planet’s atmosphere to a greater depth than previously thought — and that it is a rapid response to the ...

Our sun constantly releases a stream of high-speed charged particles, known as the solar wind. Unlike Earth, Mars does not have a strong global magnetic field to shield its atmosphere from this flow.

How has Mars lost its atmosphere over time? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated a connection between the solar wind the Mars ...

Qi Zhang, a doctoral student at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and Umeå University, explores in her doctoral thesis the interaction between Mars and the stream of charged particles from the ...

Large offshore wind farms could reshape regional rainfall patterns, increasing precipitation at sea while leaving some ...

Atmospheric reanalysis combines historical observations from satellites, radiosondes and surface stations with numerical weather prediction models to produce a continuous, gridded record of the state ...
