When that wind slams into Earth's ionosphere, or upper atmosphere, the aurora is born. In the Northern Hemisphere, the phenomenon is called the northern lights (aurora borealis), while in the ...
Scientists have discovered Earth-sized dark UV spots at Jupiter's poles, likely caused by magnetically driven vortices ...
Astronomers at UC Berkeley have identified mysterious Earth-sized spots at Jupiter’s poles with rapid life cycles.
Dark ovals in Jupiter's polar haze, visible only at UV wavelengths, were first noticed 25 years ago, then ignored. A UC ...
Each radar bounces radio waves off the ionosphere and analyzes the returning signal. Three of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) sites are in the contiguous U.S.—in Kansas ...
thermosphere and auroral zone environments Next-generation Ionosphere Model for Operations (NIMO): A predictive, assimilative ...
The solar wind in space causes the aurora—charged particles from the sun—being accelerated down the field lines of the Earth’s magnetic field. They occur in Earth’s ionosphere hundreds of ...
