Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have produced the first three-dimensional map of Uranus’ ionosphere, ...

Scientists at Japan’s Nagoya University have used Japan’s extensive network of GNSS receivers to create the first 3D images of atmospheric disturbances caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.

On Dec. 27, 2004, scientists detected the largest gamma-ray burst ever recorded. It came from a magnetar–a neutron star with an enormous magnetic field–50,000 light years away. Its powerful rays ...

Far above your head, in the atmosphere between Earth and outer space, an invisible process is occurring. The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide is already manifesting itself in impacts beyond ...

Two scientists discovered a new type of 'whistler,' an electromagnetic wave that carries a substantial amount of lightning energy to the Earth's magnetosphere. Two University of Alaska Fairbanks ...

Ionospheric irregularities represent spatial and temporal variations in the electron density of the Earth’s ionosphere, which are closely interwoven with broader atmospheric dynamics. These ...

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation systems we rely on. Scientists have now used Japan's extensive network of Global ...

Photo of the Earth with radio waves, depicted in purple, flowing across it. HF and VHF waves travel through the ionosphere. But a phenomenon called sporadic-E can interfere with these frequencies.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers help with precise location tracking and can detect disturbances in the upper atmosphere (ionosphere) by measuring delays and changes in ...
