Learn how starquakes, subtle vibrations inside stars, revealed hidden magnetic fields in red giants and how this stellar ...

Repeated impacts can create minerals that lock in magnetic signals long after the Moon’s global field has disappeared.

Deep beneath the surface of the sun lies a razor-thin transition zone called the tachocline. Despite being only a sliver in size, the tachocline is believed to be the engine room of the un’s magnetic ...

Twentieth-century explorations answered many questions about our satellite and its place in the solar system. But they also raised many new and challenging questions that still remain unanswered. One ...

For the first time, new theoretical models, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, connect the magnetism at the surface of long-dead stellar remnants (white dwarfs) with recent evidence of magnetism ...

Starquake data is revealing ancient “fossil fields” responsible for stellar magnetism from birth through a star's final end.

Uranus's mysteriously asymmetrical and skewed magnetic field has long confounded astronomers—until now. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft zipped past Uranus in 1986, it noticed that the huge gas giant's ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. You may have seen headlines or social media posts talking about a weakening of Earth’s magnetic field, specifically over the South ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms.

Strange magnetic surges above the Moon have baffled scientists for years. A new model points to an unexpected plasma interaction as the culprit.
