Cosmic rays let a telescope read thunderstorms from the ground, and Earth's magnetic field explains why it sees far more storms to the east.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that there were more volatiles than expected in lunar soil because they escaped Earth before it had a stable magnetic field.

The weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field, a region over the South Atlantic where the field’s strength is significantly reduced compared to its surrounding area, has grown by an area nearly the size of ...

For all we’ve learned about places far away in outer space, we may have barely scratched the surface of the places lying deep within Earth. As a result, there’s a lot of information we seem to be ...
