NASA has captured a phenomenon in space that has eluded humanity for centuries — an "interplanetary shock." Four spacecraft from the space agency, which are part of the Magnetospheric Multiscale ...

A team of four NASA spacecraft finally caught sight of a phenomenon scientists have been hunting for years: an interplanetary shock. The spacecraft comprise a NASA project called the Magnetospheric ...

The researchers say that the interplanetary shocks are predictable about two hours before they strike Earth, so understanding their approach angle could allow keepers of infrastructure facilities on ...

The same space weather that sparks spectacular auroras across the night skies can also damage infrastructure due to the flow of electrical currents, potentially causing power outages, a study has ...

The sun shakes the solar system by sending out dramatic interplanetary shocks, and NASA has observed these shocks for the first time. NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale mission (MMS) consists of four ...

The Magnetospheric Multiscale mission -- MMS -- has spent the past four years using high-resolution instruments to see what no other spacecraft can. Recently, MMS made the first high-resolution ...
