Magnetic fields that stretch across thousands of light-years should take a very long time to organize. Standard dynamo theory ...

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion ...

A team of scientists from the University of Liverpool have found two strange anomalies that have affected the Earth's ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

New observations are helping scientists peer beneath the Sun’s surface, revealing where its magnetic activity may truly begin ...

Scientists from Oxford University finally explain why some Moon rocks show intense ancient magnetism. Titanium-rich rocks caused brief bursts in the lunar magnetic field.

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously thought.

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

One particularly well-known fact about the moon is that it doesn't have much of a magnetosphere to speak of. There's no blanket to protect it from the solar wind ravaging its surface, blowing away its ...

Computer simulation of a one-sided magnetic field on early Mars based on data from a study led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. The study could explain the unusual magnetic imprint ...
