Astronomers have measured magnetic fields in a galaxy 4.6 billion light-years away — a big clue to understanding how magnetic fields formed and evolved over cosmic time. In an article published Aug.

Solar filaments are vast clouds of relatively cool plasma, often stretching across enormous distances, held aloft by complex ...

Every new generation of eyes sees a new version of our galaxy, the Milky Way. This Impressionistic swirl of color represents the churning magnetic fields in giant dust clouds near the center of the ...

It’s a fact that the reactivity of singlet oxygen is controlled by magnetic fields. This groundbreaking discovery has led researchers to believe that there may be a previously unknown magnetoreceptor ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Earth's magnetic field is like an invisible shield that protects our planet from solar and cosmic radiation. While it might not be ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

For the first time, researchers have mapped the magnetic polarity of active regions on the far side of the sun, which is invisible from Earth. Using helioseismology and data from the NSF-NOAA Global ...
