The same space weather that sparks spectacular auroras across the night skies can also damage infrastructure due to the flow of electrical currents, potentially causing power outages, a study has ...
The Northern Lights, also known as aurora, is a natural light display, caused by the solar wind. (Photo by:Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) "Interplanetary shocks" ...
The researchers say that the interplanetary shocks are predictable about two hours before they strike Earth, so understanding their approach angle could allow keepers of infrastructure facilities on ...
Scientists find that interplanetary shocks which strike Earth’s magnetic field head-on cause more powerful ground-level electric currents, threatening pipelines and submarine cables Auroras have ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
Data from Cluster, and other spacecraft monitoring the magnetosphere, have shown that interplanetary shocks -- caused by coronal mass ejections from the Sun -- can create "killer electrons" in the ...
