Voyager 1 and 2 have traveled farther than any human-made object—well beyond the planets and into interstellar space. But ...

There are huge, invisible structures in the ionosphere that are high above the surface of the Earth. These structures are ...

On Sept. 5, 2022, an enormous, undulating stream of plasma shot across the solar surface like a snake, and on Sept. 24, 2022, a colossal 1-million-mile long plume of plasma erupted from the sun's ...

Voyager 2’s plasma science instrument is still functioning, so it can take direct measurements of the density of the plasma in interstellar space. Space plasma is matter made of charged ...

In fact, the Plasma Cutter even features the damage-over-time upgrade from that beloved sequel. “One thing we've been bringing from Dead Space 2 and expanding a little bit on is the concept of ...

OverviewThe Space Plasma Group at the University of Colorado studies the nonlinear evolution of space and laboratory plasmas driven by electric currents and beams of energetic particles. Recent ...

When the plasma confined in the dipole magnetic field of RT-1 contains a significant ratio of high-temperature electrons (red particles), the spontaneous formation of a chorus emission (white ...

Observation of plasma phase-space distribution is an important theme not only in fusion plasmas but also in plasma research on celestial bodies, the sun, and auroras, ...

NASA and Howe Industries are working on a new rocket to make the trip to Mars much more manageable. The Pulsed Plasma Rocket could boast 100,000 N of thrust, unlocking speeds of up to half a ...

A solar wind event squashed the protective bubble around Uranus just before Voyager 2 flew by the planet in 1986, shifting how astronomers understood the mysterious world.

Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau, who is based near Rafaela in Argentina, captured the striking image on March 9 using specialized camera equipment. The plasma wall "rose some 100,000 km [kilometers, or ...

Space plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in planetary and astrophysical environments where electromagnetic forces dominate over collisional interactions.
