The auroras we saw throughout the US in May were triggered by solar phenomena scientists expect to see through early to mid-2026.

Researchers have discovered that the same principles governing air turbulence in the troposphere also apply to the thermosphere. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that ...

Space junk is a huge concern for those who want to put anything into orbit or keep it there. Here are a few times that space ...

Interactions between electrons and plasma waves can cause the trapped electrons to escape and enter the Earth’s upper atmosphere, the thermosphere. This phenomenon, called electron precipitation, is ...

Among the unique phenomena triggered by the event was the appearance of a huge spiral structure in the thermosphere, as well as the complete obliteration of the ionosphere in the mid-latitude region.

Policy is not the impediment to increasing space weather preparedness in the United States; the lack of funding is.

However, NASA’s mission was targeted at aurora in the thermosphere, which is about 62 to 186 miles above the surface. Aurora are caused by charged particles from the sun, flowing in what’s ...

The Aether model has been developed using gnu c++ (versions 9, 10, 11). If you are using this, hopefully it will just work out of the box. We have been doing development of Aether on Mac OSX, and in ...

The coupled Mesosphere-Thermosphere system is affected by both lower atmospheric as well as magnetospheric forcings. Various atmospheric waves, excited in the troposphere, can reach this region in ...

Earth and Space Share the Same Turbulence June 7, 2024 — Researchers have discovered that the turbulence found in the thermosphere -- known as the gateway to space -- and turbulence in the ...

Storms also result in intense currents in the magnetosphere, changes in the radiation belts, and changes in the ionosphere, including heating the ionosphere and upper atmosphere region called the ...

The ozone layer, located in the Earth's stratosphere, plays a crucial role in shielding life on the planet from the harmful ...
