When astronauts finally reach Mars, they’ll face a unique challenge: walking and working in gravity that’s only 37% as strong as Earth’s. After spending months in the weightlessness of space,
We don’t know what dark matter is, but that doesn’t stop astronomers from using it to their advantage. Dark matter is part of what makes gravitational lensing so effective. Astronomers
An Earth-facing sunspot has turned into a prolific flare factory, firing off multiple powerful M-class solar flares in less than 24 hours, along with several minor C-class eruptions. The most
Magnetospheric convection timescale shows a positive correlation with the tidal heating rate. This suggests that exoplanets which are well-positioned for plasma torus construction will generally also receive the necessary tidal
