A team of scientists discovered a unique radio emission, the hectometric continuum, that appears after sunset and disappears before sunrise. This phenomenon is linked to processes in the near-Earth plasma and may be related to exoplanetary magnetic fields.
A recent study published in Nature Astronomy revealed that positively charged carbon ions are being accelerated to escape speeds in a previously unexplored region of Venus's magnetosphere. This discovery sheds new light on the planet's atmospheric evolution and the loss of its historical water content.
High-energy electrons from Earth's plasma sheet contribute to weathering processes on the Moon's surface, aiding in the formation of water. The discovery may help explain the origin of lunar water ice and provide insights into the Moon's evolution.
Researchers have discovered a new breed of magnetic reconnection in the magnetosheath, a turbulent region near Earth's atmosphere. This phenomenon is distinct from previous observations and has significant implications for understanding turbulence in space.
