Solar wind hit Uranus and dramatically compressed its magnetosphere, likely pushing plasma out of it. But the solar wind also made Uranus’ magnetosphere more dynamic by feeding it with electrons ...

A huge sun eruption combines with speedy solar wind from a "coronal hole" for a weekend aurora show, experts predict.

Aside from sunlight, the sun sends out a gusty stream of particles called the solar wind. The ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission ...

Earth’s magnetosphere is very strong, therefore, deflecting much of the solar wind. However, some of the particles will sneak through and travel toward the poles, where we see the brilliant ...

One of Qi Zhang's key discoveries is the concept of a degenerate induced magnetosphere—a state in which extreme solar wind conditions trigger a unique interaction feature and a surge in ...

Multi-spacecraft scientific missions for space physics have been flown since the 1960s with early missions such as IMP, VELA, ...

PUNCH isn't the only spacecraft studying the solar corona and the transition into the solar wind. NASA's Parker Solar Probe regularly flies closer to the sun than any other spacecraft has gone before; ...

An international agency reports that the installation of renewable energy worldwide hit a record high last year, with 92.5% ...

His research interests span transient events in the solar atmosphere, solar wind origins and evolution, and solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. He uses spectroscopic analysis, numerical simulations ...
