Neural networks have significantly improved our ability to reconstruct the Earth’s atmospheric layer, making it possible to achieve much more accurate results. This has significant…
NASA detected the shockwave from the underwater eruption high up in the atmosphere. The powerful underwater volcanic eruption that blanketed the island nation of Tonga…
Solar flares jetting out from the sun and thunderstorms generated on Earth impact the planet’s ionosphere in different ways, which have implications for the ability…
A 2020 explosion in Lebanon’s port city of Beirut led to a southward-bound, high-velocity atmospheric wave that rivaled ones generated by volcanic eruptions. Just after…
Early in the morning of November 7, 2018, NASA launches the Ionospheric Connection Explorer, or ICON, a spacecraft that will explore the dynamic region where…
Like Earth, space has weather. Except instead of swirling winds and downpours of precipitation, space weather is defined by shifting electric and magnetic fields and…
A new study improves our understanding of how solar storms affect Earth and could possibly lead to improved radio communication and navigation systems for the…
New research from scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and at the University of New Brunswick looks at irregularities in the ionosphere, comparing turbulence in…
Scientists were able to study the deformation of the sheath of electrons and ions enveloping Venus for the first time. In rare events, the sheath…
Underground nuclear tests can be detected in the skies and as a result, global satellite networks could become a powerful tool in order to detect…
Astronomers launched a NASA-funded rocket into the aurora borealis, which are colloquially known as the northern lights. The 46-foot (14-meter) rocket, the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in…
