A new model called StarryStarryProcess lets scientists map star spots with precision, improving how exoplanets are studied. By factoring in both transits and stellar rotation, it provides richer ...

A team at Imperial College London utilized 1989 Voyager 2 data and supercomputer simulations to create the first detailed model of Neptune's magnetic field, revealing its highly unusual and dynamic ...

Variable Sun–planet magnetosphere interactions. a, Polar projections of the typical terrestrial auroral morphology from IMAGE FUV/WIC data. b,c, Saturn's dynamic auroral morphology observed by the ...

Venus' volatile atmosphere expands in the sun, creating a low pressure area that drives strong winds around the planet. Image by NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory-Caltech Venus is Earth’s sister planet, ...

The planet Uranus got knocked on its side not by a single, massive blow but by two powerful impacts, new computer simulations hint. The model helps explain a long-standing mystery: Why do Uranus's ...
