New Breakthrough on Solar Wind Unveiled by India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM)!
You may wonder that based on their limited observation, in the early days, people thought the Sun had an atmosphere, like Earth, experiencing seasons and even forming clouds. These clouds were thought to be responsible for the dark spots observed on the Sun’s surface (now the same is known the sunspot, a dark spot appears on the sun’s surface due to low temperature region).
The Moon’s Magnetic Mystery: Chandrayaan-2 Just Changed Everything We Knew
A new study based on radio signal analysis of the Chandrayaan-2 (CH-2) orbiter, has yielded surprising information regarding the Moon’s ionosphere. The study reveals that the moon’s ionosphere exhibits unexpectedly high electron densities when it enters the Earth’s geomagnetic tail, which could be explained only by the presence of a lunar crustal magnetic field.
