AMS Data Reveals Charged Particle Variations in Heliosphere Over Solar Cycle
Researchers analysing AMS data aboard the ISS have identified variations in charged particles within the heliosphere over an 11-year solar cycle. Shifts in the heliospheric magnetic field impact antiproton behaviour and cosmic nuclei fluxes, revealing correlations between solar modulation and cosmic ray movement. AMS measurements provide insights i...

NASA's Juno Detects Io's Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption Yet
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has recorded the most powerful volcanic eruption on Io, Jupiter’s most volcanic moon. The eruption site, detected on 27 December 2024, is fueled by a massive magma chamber spanning 105,000 square kilometers. The heat energy released is estimated at 80 trillion watts, exceeding Earth’s total power output. The volcanic ac...

Supernova Remnant G278.94+1.35 is Closer to Earth, Claims New Study
Astronomers discovered that the supernova remnant G278.94+1.35 is located just 3,300 light years away, much closer than previously believed. Initially thought to span over 500 light years, it is now estimated to measure around 189 by 182 light years. Named "Diprotodon" after Australia’s extinct giant marsupial, this structure remains in an expand...

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...
