Large parts of the United States faced a radio blackout on Thursday following a strong solar flare from the sun. The "extreme ultraviolet flash" was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory ...

Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within the Milky Way using a technique called Faraday rotation. It works like ...

Migrating birds use a magnetic map to travel long distances. A new study has shown that migratory birds have mastered a complicated scientific calculation that has baffled humans for millenia ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations. CNN values your feedback 1.

The aurora's are back! And may be visible throughout the weekend. The University of Alaska and NOAA track auroras using the Kp-index, a global auroral activity indicator which has a scale from 0 to 9.

This map and an internal magnetic ‘compass’ rely on distinct mechanisms, implying that turtles have two magnetic senses. Loggerhead sea turtles can learn to recognize foraging areas using ...

A US team has shown that sharks use the Earth's magnetic fields as a map when making long-distance migrations to specific locations. The findings are published today in the journal Current Biology .

Once again, the birds re-oriented themselves to the northwest—suggesting that the magnetic field alone—regardless of smells or other cues, is enough to alter the birds' mental map. The study ...

Cooltech Applications launches its magnetic refrigeration system in the USA and partners with Structural Concepts for deploying first magnetic cooling ...

Specifically, polarization allows astronomers to map the magnetic field lines present at the inner edge of the black hole. In April 2019, scientists released the first ever image of a black hole ...

The magnetic map of the Milky Way was stitched together from observations from the European Space Agency's Planck space observatory. ... Follow us @Spacedotcom, Facebook and Google+.
