surface roughness. However, radio waves emitted by the planet Jupiter interfere with the signal, so it can be used only on the side of Europa facing away from the planet. The...
Landslides Sinkholes Volcanoes Ocean Science Ocean currents Internal waves Oil spills The ASAR–L+S data/imagery will be collected in three phases to maximize...
BurstCube, a mission specifically targeted to search for the gamma-ray counterpart to gravitational waves. The BurstCube instrument will involve four blocks of cesium-iodide...
atmosphere they heat and ionize the air in their path. The luminous ionized trails are not only visually striking (if seen at night) but they also reflect radio waves. During...
. Shock waves in front of the CME can accelerate these protons in our direction--hence the proton storm. "CMEs can account for most proton storms," says Lin, but not the...
bend, distort, reflect and even absorb radio waves. Plumes amplify these effects. How important is Africa to the study of this phenomenon? "Consider the list of...
sensors that measure the speed, direction and composition of the solar wind; receivers that pick up radio emissions from explosions and shock waves in the sun's atmosphere;...
away. They looked like a forest of telephone poles." Such debranching requires fast moving shock waves that break off a tree's branches before the branches can transfer the...
moving with that cloud of material, their behavior and emissions will look quite normal. Because the matter is moving almost at the speed of light, observers on the outside (...
improbably thin. If you made a 1-meter-wide scale model of Saturn, the rings would be 10,000 times thinner than a razor blade. They're full of strange waves and spokes and...
