We believe Mars may once have had oceans and sky, but lost them from a lack of a magnetosphere. How does this happen, and how can we create a magnetosphere for Mars so we can terraform and live on it?

Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that ...

As a result of the lack of solar wind, the pressure decrease caused Mars's atmosphere and magnetosphere to expand by thousands of kilometers, tripling in size. It also sent a supersonic shockwave ...

We are protected from most of this radiation thanks to our planet’s atmosphere and magnetic field, known as the magnetosphere. But Mars has no magnetosphere, and its atmosphere is over 100 times ...

And the main reason is because of the radiation problem and Mars offers no natural protection against galactic cosmic rays. It has a thin atmosphere and no magnetosphere so humans who intend to ...

Mercury’s southern magnetosphere aurorae are similar to those seen on Earth and Mars, states the paper. Its magnetosphere is known to change according to the strength of the solar wind—a ...
