Mars could encounter more than twice as many encounters with potentially dangerous asteroids as Earth, according to a new study. This could jeopardize exploration missions to the Red Planet, but also provide insight into how the inner solar system formed. Asteroids pose the greatest threat to our planet from space; for example, the 2013 Chelyabinsk … Read more

Scientists have found the possible origin of the sun‘s magnetic field, and it’s not where they thought it was. The discovery, made using complex computer simulations, suggests that the Sun’s magnetic field arises from instabilities in the plasma in the outer layers of the Sun’s surface, rather than deep within the star, as researchers previously … Read more
