Study Explores Sun’s Magnetic Field Changes and Solar Wind Acceleration
A study published in The Astrophysical Journal has shed light on how the Sun’s magnetic field influences solar wind acceleration. Using data from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, researchers observed that sharp magnetic switchbacks smooth out into gentler waves as they travel further from the Sun. This relaxation process transfers magnet...

Red Giant XX Trianguli Has Massive Starspots, Dubbed the 'Most Spotted Star in the Sky'
Massive starspots have been observed on the red giant star XX Trianguli, located 630 light-years from Earth. These starspots, larger than the sun's entire surface, make XX Trianguli the "most spotted star in the sky." Researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam and HUN-REN RCAES discovered that the star's internal magnetic dynam...

Semi-Dirac Fermions Found in ZrSiS: Quasiparticles with Directional Mass Behavior
Researchers at Penn State and Columbia University identified semi-Dirac fermions, quasiparticles theorized 16 years ago, in ZrSiS crystals. These particles are massless in one direction but have mass in another. The findings, published in Physical Review X, were made using magneto-optical spectroscopy at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory....

Aditya-L1 Records Coronal Mass Ejection, Reveals New Details on Solar Plasma Movement and Magnetic Activity
Aditya-L1, India’s first solar mission, observed a Coronal Mass Ejection on July 16, 2024. Researchers found that the event caused significant coronal dimming, increased turbulence, and solar plasma deflection due to magnetic fields. These insights, derived from VELC measurements, deepen our understanding of solar activity and its space weather i...

NASA’s Europa Clipper Probe Begins Deploying Science Instruments on Way to Jupiter
NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has begun deploying its key science instruments as it travels towards Jupiter. Launched in October 2023, the probe is on a 1.8-billion-mile journey to study Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. The recent deployment includes the magnetometer’s boom and radar antennas, crucial for studying Europa's magnetic field and subsu...

Jupiter’s Earth-Sized Storms Might Be Caused by Magnetic Tornadoes, Study Claims
Magnetic tornadoes twisting down from Jupiter's ionosphere create massive, Earth-sized anticyclonic storms in the planet's atmosphere. These dark ovals, detectable only in ultraviolet light, form dense hazes of aerosols stirred by swirling magnetic vortices. This phenomenon, visible at Jupiter's poles, was unveiled through data from the Hubble Spac...
