supernova explosions," says Jim Adams of the NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center. When massive stars explode they blast their own atmospheres into space. The expanding shock...
chemicals--relics of 100 years of industry in the region. The boat's trolling motors stir them up and so do wind-driven waves. The fisherman doesn't notice what's...
could finally deliver this to us." The dynamo is hidden from view by about 140,000 miles of overlying hot gas. SDO penetrates the veil using a technique familiar to...
explodes - goes supernova - it can be seen across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Usually, a supernova is first noticed in visible light, and then in radio waves and X-...
terrestrial weather in the lower atmosphere below and the tumult of space weather from above. Big events in the lower atmosphere, like hurricanes or tsunamis, create waves...
field double probes will enable inexpensive sampling of Earth’s ionosphere, allowing researchers to learn more about a host of important scientific phenomena in geospace—...
generated was directly proportional to the current. Scientists were also able to examine ionized shock wave and plasma waves around the satellite, and how gas from the...
, TEMPUS used magnetic fields to position metal samples, about the size of a gum drop, and radio waves to melt them in 22 experiments. Observations of how they shook and how...
produce some of the most eye-catching pictures and movies -- the Radio Plasma Imager (RPI). "This is gonna' be the radar cop in space," he explained. "RPI will be firing off...
Dec. 13, 2010: On August 1, 2010, an entire hemisphere of the sun erupted. Filaments of magnetism snapped and exploded, shock waves raced across the stellar surface,...
