In astronomy and planetary science, a magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are affected by...

The magnetosphere of Jupiter is the cavity created in the solar wind by Jupiter's magnetic field. Extending up to seven million kilometers in the Sun's...

The magnetosphere of Saturn is the cavity created in the flow of the solar wind by the planet's internally generated magnetic field. Discovered in 1979...

between the Ganymedian magnetosphere and Jovian plasma is in many respects similar to that of the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere. The plasma co-rotating...

in near-Earth space and its subsequent interaction with the Earth's magnetosphere. Irish academic George FitzGerald later suggested that matter was being...

The Radiation Belt and Magnetosphere is a book written by Wilmot Hess in 1968. The intention of the book is to amalgamate and sift through some 2500 articles...

known as a magnetic storm, is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave. The disturbance that drives the magnetic...

unclear. Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and many natural satellites. Its ring system is extremely dark, with...

high energy particles that bombard the planet's surface. Mars lost its magnetosphere 4 billion years ago, possibly because of numerous asteroid strikes,...

covering the entire sky. Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind. Major disturbances result from enhancements...

Uranus's magnetosphere. Before the arrival of Voyager 2 to Neptune, it was hypothesised that Uranus's sideways rotation caused its tilted magnetosphere. In...

greatly affect the nature and radiation levels of Jupiter's extensive magnetosphere. Io's volcanic ejecta also produce a large, intense plasma torus around...

the magnetosphere, which protects the Earth from solar wind and the most harmful components of solar radiation coming from the Sun. The magnetosphere protects...

"mini-magnetosphere" at the Crisium antipode on the Moon's far side, using its Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SARA) instrument. The mini-magnetosphere is...

where the pressures balance, is the boundary of the magnetosphere. Despite its name, the magnetosphere is asymmetric, with the sunward side being about 10 Earth...

Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a planned joint venture mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy...

Jupiter is surrounded by a faint planetary ring system and has a powerful magnetosphere, the second largest contiguous structure in the Solar System (after...

volcanoes, and earthquakes. Earth has a liquid outer core that generates a magnetosphere capable of deflecting most of the destructive solar winds and cosmic...

heliosphere, affecting the entire Solar System, including Earth and its magnetosphere, and is the cause of space weather in the short-term with long-term...

Saturn's magnetosphere is much smaller than Jupiter's. When Voyager 2 entered the magnetosphere, the solar wind pressure was high and the magnetosphere extended...

The following is a chronology of discoveries concerning the magnetosphere. 1600 - William Gilbert in London suggests the Earth is a giant magnet. 1741...

strong enough near the bow shock to slow the solar wind, which induces a magnetosphere. The magnetic field is about 1.1% as strong as Earth's. At the Hermean...

rotation rates of a star. A star with a magnetic field will generate a magnetosphere that extends outward into the surrounding space. Field lines from this...

deflect the solar wind around the planet, creating a magnetosphere. The planet's magnetosphere, though small enough to fit within Earth, is strong enough...

used to create global images of otherwise invisible phenomena in the magnetospheres of planets and throughout the heliosphere. Charged particles— protons...

System enabling the presence of life is the heliosphere and planetary magnetosphere. These magnetic fields partially shield the Solar System from high-energy...

The impact of the solar wind onto the magnetosphere generates an electric field within the inner magnetosphere (r < 10 a; with a the Earth's radius) -...
