The field is 27 times more powerful than Earth's and sits at an angle on the planet, changing chaotically as it interacts with the solar wind. Scientists knew Neptune's magnetic field was strange ...

However, at Neptune’s surface, the gravity is only about 1.1 times the gravity we experience on Earth. In other words, if ...

Earlier this year, scientists said in a Nature Astronomy paper that the magnetic field properties of Uranus measured by Voyager 2 may not be a standard representation of the planet's environment ...

Both of the ice giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, lacked what's known as a "dipole magnetic field." This was in stark contrast to our own rocky world, as well as the two gas giants Jupitar and ...

But Neptune and Uranus have magnetic fields that are way off, inclined at 47º and 59º respectively. Scientists 10 years ago suggested that this could be because there were circulating currents ...

Their results could answer a magnetic mystery in Uranus and Neptune: Superionic ice could be responsible for those planets’ odd, off-kilter magnetic fields, which have been puzzling scientists ...

Long theorized but never observed, the first known “planet with a death wish” is described by Ilin and her colleagues in a study published July 2 in Nature.

W. J. Nellis (Submitted on 3 Mar 2015) The magnetic fields of the Ice Giant Planets Uranus and Neptune (U/N) are unique in the solar system. Based on a substantial database measured on Earth for ...

On top of that they also found that Berkeley reaches a near-zero magnetic field activity during the night, while Brooklyn’s magnetic activity continues both day and night. “Again, not too surprisingly ...

In the depths of our solar system — a realm where chemistry meets speculation — scientists have reported the possible existence of a molecule known as aquodiium, an elusive cousin of the ammonium ion.

Scientists are tracking a large gas planet experiencing quite a quandary as it orbits extremely close to a young star - a ...
