NASA measures radiation over Greenland to improve aviation safety and validate models that predict cosmic doses polar flight routes.

New maps reveal a vast store of hidden star-making material called "CO-dark molecular gas," found in the Cygnus X region.

Where does the Earth’s magnetic field come from, why do we think it’s going to reverse itself (and what in the world does that mean, anyway?), and what’s any of that got to do with me or cosmic ...

A notorious weak spot in Earth’s magnetic shield is growing larger and weaker. This is the conclusion of a new analysis of ...

Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental Europe in the last 10 years.

Jupiter possesses the solar system's most powerful magnetic field, forming a vast magnetosphere extending far beyond its moons. Jupiter's intense radiation belts, composed of high-energy electrons and ...

Earth’s magnetic field is essential to life on our planet. It protects Earth from cosmic radiation and acts as a shield ...

The Magnetic Field Safety Program is managed by the Radiation Safety office; a subset of the Office of Environmental and Emergency Management (EEM). We are here to ensure that Magnetic Fields on ...

When scientists talk about radiation, they are referring to photons, which are massless particles. According to quantum mechanics, the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency (i.e ...

Jupiter's moon Europa is regarded as one of the most likely places in the solar system to find extraterrestrial life, but where to look for evidence of it? To aid future space missions, a team of ...
