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...

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...

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

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

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...

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

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

helpful in studying the motions of continents and ocean floors. The magnetosphere extends above the ionosphere that is defined by the extent of Earth's...

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

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

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

surrounded by a faint system of planetary rings and has a powerful magnetosphere, the second-largest contiguous structure in the Solar System (after...

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

wind, that are captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetosphere. Earth has two such belts, and sometimes others may be temporarily created...

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

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...

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

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...

"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...

The plasmasphere, or inner magnetosphere, is a region of the Earth's magnetosphere consisting of low-energy (cool) plasma. It is located above the ionosphere...

exosphere formation of Mercury is due to its unique magnetosphere and solar wind relationship. The magnetosphere of this celestial body is hypothesized to be...

magnetohydrodynamics. Thus in the "closed" model of the magnetosphere, the magnetopause boundary between the magnetosphere and the solar wind is outlined by field lines...

a distinct magnetic environment. This is considered Venus's induced magnetosphere. Lighter gases, including water vapour, are continuously blown away...

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) -...

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

the accretion of "metals". The region of space dominated by the Solar magnetosphere is the heliosphere, which spans much of the Solar System. Along with...

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...
