Aurorae on Venus? Yes, but… Venus has no significant global magnetic field, which means the solar wind collides directly with particles in Venus’ atmosphere, like carbon dioxide and oxygen.

This is a big deal because stable aquodiium, which consists of four atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen (H4O2+), has never been observed before due to the high energy barrier involved in ...

Often, that more powerful magnetic field is created by electricity. Electricity and magnetism are fundamentally linked, because magnetic fields are generated by the movement of electrical charges.

Michigan could observe the northern lights the night of Aug. 7 and Aug. 8, 2025, with a geomagnetic storm on its way. Here's a look at what to know.
