For the first time, astronomers confirmed a massive expulsion of plasma from a star other than the sun. A burping star about ...

Scientists have confirmed that eruptions from distant stars can escape their star's pull. A radio telescope in the ...

Astrophotographer Mark Johnstron captured a mesmerizing cloud of hydrogen plasma dancing above the sun's limb in this ...

For years, astronomers talked about coronal mass ejections on other stars almost like ghost stories. You hear signs, hints ...

A coronal mass ejection from a distant star has been confirmed for the first time, raising questions about how such events ...

The findings could clarify the origins of the enigmatic and brilliant emissions that often come from the deep recesses of space. reading time 2 minutes A team of researchers believes the flurry of ...

Using measurements of the four ESA’s Cluster satellites, a study published this week in Nature Physics shows pioneering experimental evidence of magnetic reconnection also in turbulent ‘plasma’ around ...

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide ...

An extrapolation technique aims to address the gap between Hall effect thruster performance in space and in laboratory conditions.

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

"We were very surprised to see that the same tiny plasma jets appear to be driving both the fast and the slow solar wind." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The venerable Voyager spacecrafts are now nearly 50 years old, and having headed out beyond the orbit of Pluto and into interstellar space, the pair are the most distant man-made objects in the ...
