GPS positions were off by up to 230 feet during the Gannon Solar Storm in May 2024 in a disruption that lasted for up to two days, a new study has revealed.

On November 13, 2020, a pair of European Space Agency spacecraft—Mars Express and the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter—set out to gain a deeper understanding of the Martian ionosphere. Utilizing an advanced ...

Like Earth, Mars is surrounded by an ionosphere—the part of its upper atmosphere where radiation from the sun knocks ...

Red sprites hover between 40 and 55 miles high. Up there, the air is thin, so electric fields can spark gigantic filaments ...

The expedition targets an occurrence called Sporadic-E layers, which occur in the lower ionosphere, a charged area of Earth's upper atmosphere between 60 and 1,000 kilometers from the surface.

How are Sporadic-E layers formed? The ionosphere, a layer of Earth's atmosphere that stretches from about 60 to 1,000 kilometres, is made up of charged particles or ions.

The ionosphere, a region of Earth’s atmosphere spanning 60 to 1,000 kilometres, consists of charged particles or ions. These ions are partly derived from meteors that burn up in the atmosphere, ...
