For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa. This vast, developing phenomenon, called the ...
The NASA Transient Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACERS) mission was launched on July 23, aiming to study the interaction between solar wind and Earth's magnetic field using two satellites. One satellite,
The Sun's activity is rising again after decades of decline, surprising scientists and raising concerns about space weather.

Satellites Going DARK Over Atlantic – NASA Confirms Underground Magnetic ‘Demon’ Disrupting Earth’s Core
NASA has raised serious concerns about a large, mysterious anomaly that is spreading across the planet. This strange phenomenon is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). It is a weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field, stretching over South America and ...
The spacecraft will study the solar system's edge, magnetic fields in interplanetary space, and remnants of exploded stars.
The Carruthers Geocorona Observatory is the first mission focused on studying changes in the exosphere, the Earth’s outermost atmosphere. The NOAA mission will measure the solar wind, thermal plasma and the magnetic field and be able to detect coronal mass ejections, giant eruptions from the sun’s surface, which send space weather toward Earth.
Created by the sun, the protective bubble of the heliosphere shields our solar system from harmful radiation. A new mission has launched to map it like never before.

As Solar Storm Hits Earth NASA Finds "The Sun Is Slowly Waking Up"
All signs were pointing to the Sun going into a prolonged phase of low activity,” NASA's Jamie Jasinski said. "The Sun is slowly waking up."
The solar wind flows around Earth's magnetic field. A new NASA study suggests that the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere and strength of the magnetic field have been correlated for more than half a billion years. For 540 million years, the ebb and flow in ...
Seismic studies reveal Mars may have a solid inner core. The result deepens knowledge of its evolution and lost magnetic field. Researchers have determined that Mars shares a structural similarity with Earth’s interior.
