  1. Though close to home, the space immediately around Earth is full of hidden secrets and invisible processes. In a new discovery reported in the journal Nature, scientists working with NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft — MMS — have uncovered a new type of magnetic event in our near-Earth environment by using an innovative technique to squeeze extra information out of the data.

    May 14, 2023Magnets in Space. Since the first humans reached for the stars, magnets have played a huge role in space exploration. They can stick things together, repel each other and attract small charged particles known as ions. Magnets have been a vital part of many of the spacecraft that have helped us get where we are today. They've also been crucial ...

  4. Can magnets help astronauts to more easily transfer fuel on Moon and Mars missions? A team at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, is looking into that very question. The team is working to create a magnetic coupler, a device that could be used for transferring fuels on space missions.

    Impact: Magnetic reconnection is responsible for the space weather that can adversely affect modern technological systems on Earth, such as telecommunications networks, GPS navigation, and electrical power grids. The FPI and data compression system provide essential capabilities that are enabling MMS to achieve its mission goal of measuring the plasma and the electric and magnetic fields ...

    Jul 8, 2024The use of magnets in space exploration dates back to the early days of satellite technology. In the 1950s and 1960s, magnets were employed in rudimentary attitude control systems for satellites, helping to stabilize and orient these early spacefarers. Evolution of Magnet Technology.

    Aug 2, 2023The cores of Earth, Mercury, and two of Jupiter's moons, Ganymede and Io, for example, all generate detectable magnetic fields. And there are traces of ancient magnetism found on Mars and Earth's moon. But there are also meteorites — small space rocks that have fallen to Earth — that contain hints of magnetism.

    Jan 7, 2025However, the precise mechanism that guides these jets and prevents them from dispersing into space has remained a long-standing puzzle. ... Evidence for a helical magnetic field: The analysis definitively reveals a helical magnetic field configuration within the HH 80-81 jet. This result mirrors observations of helical magnetic fields in ...
  9. 3 days agoThe space-borne gravitational wave observatory is to detect low-frequency gravitational wave signals in the range of 0.1 mHz to 100 mHz. The inertial sensors of space gravitational wave require very high accuracy for acceleration noise, and the interaction of the space magnetic field with the test mass can generate magnetic moment forces and Lorentz forces, which lead to acceleration noise ...

    TodaySince the magnetic field is sustained by geological activity deep within our planet, let's start with an overview of its structure. Although we've hardly scratched Earth's surface (the center lies nearly 4,000 miles deep, and the deepest borehole penetrated just 7.6 miles), scientists can study the interior with some help from earthquakes: As seismic waves ripple through, changes in ...
