Close to the sun, the solar wind, a steady stream of charged particles, accelerates until it cannot turn back. During a record pass about 3.8 million miles above the surface, Parker Solar Probe ...
The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.
Increased solar wind and coronal mass ejections can lead to more intense and dynamic auroras.
Offshore wind turbines change the air and ocean currents. The rotors extract wind energy and influence surface currents, while the turbine pillars underwater act as obstacles and slow down tidal ...
To an astronaut today, the Earth looks like a vibrant blue marble from space. But 700 million years ago, it would have looked ...
A spacecraft now moves through a region once thought unreachable, sampling the thin outer atmosphere of the Sun at distances ...
By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz Center Hereon have analyzed the long-term overall impact of this large number ...
To an astronaut today, the Earth looks like a vibrant blue marble from space. But 700 million years ago, it would have looked like a blinding white ...
This winter has been an active one with parading storms and deep cold snaps. I feel like every time I wrap up one storm ...
Earth’s magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen appear to have moved in sync for half a billion years, pointing to a surprising connection between the planet’s deep interior and life-supporting ...
Imagine sprinting barefoot across a searing hot parking lot in midsummer. The ground blazes. The light dazzles and blinds ...
No, this is not some new geological era, epoch or age. No, it is not some science fiction story either. But yes, we find ourselves at a new point in human history where, for the first time, ...
