If there was a contest for the most interesting moon in our solar system, Callisto would be a contender. Jupiter's ...

SpaceX rocket launches are punching holes in part of Earth's atmosphere, called the ionosphere, and it's a beautiful sight to behold. The holes appear as bright red blobs in the sky. Some are ...

The upper layer of the Earth's atmosphere could play a bigger role in shaping the northern lights than previously thought, University of Iowa researchers show.

Study shows that deep learning predicts TEC variations in the ionosphere, minimizing failures in satellite signals during ...

By analyzing radio signals from India’s Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which continues to operate efficiently and provide valuable ...

The International Space Station has captured a photo of what in known as "Earth's tallest lightning". This form of lighting, known as a gigantic jet, is a type of discharge that occurs between ...

ISRO's Chandrayaan-2 mission has uncovered unexpectedly high electron densities in the Moon's ionosphere. These findings suggest a significant influence of lunar crustal magnetic fields on plasma ...

Multi-spacecraft scientific missions for space physics have been flown since the 1960s with early missions such as IMP, VELA, ...

But it wasn't an open-and-shut case. Callisto also seemed to have an ionosphere, a layer of electrically charged particles high in its atmosphere. That meant scientists couldn't rule out the ...

The Ionosphere Monitoring and Prediction Center (IMPC) is based at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation in ...

But evidence for Callisto's subsurface ocean has remained inconclusive, as the moon has an intense ionosphere. Scientists thought this electrically conductive upper part of the moon's atmosphere ...
