A new NASA mission is set to launch that will study the effects of Earth’s magnetic field on us. NASA and SpaceX are set to ...

Earth’s magnetic shield protects us from the Sun’s deadly solar wind—except at the polar cusps, where energy funnels straight toward Earth. NASA’s TRACERS mission will send two spacecraft through ...

This image shows the inner three layers of the magnetic shield (also known as the insert), and the cylindrical layer with 780 copper rods. The cylindrical layer is used to generate a very uniform ...

NASA claimed the magnetic shield is weakening at 5% per decade, so what percentage is left as of today? This question was originally answered on Quora by C Stuart Hardwick.

This chamber might not look empty—but in fact it’s missing something that usually permeates every space on Earth: magnetic fields. And it will help ...

Without this magnetic shield, we would have no protection against the harsh radiation of the solar wind. Roughly every 200,000 years, the Earth's … EARTH'S magnetic field isn't doing well.

Spanish researchers have designed what they call the world's first "anti-magnet," a magnetic cloak that can act as a shield they envision helping the military and saving lives.

How the artificial magnetic shield would work. NASA/Green et al. The research was presented at the Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop by Dr Jim Green, NASA's Planetary Science Division Director.

The idea of shielding spacecraft from harmful cosmic radiation using artificially-generated magnetic fields was once dismissed as unrealistically expensive. But new experiments carried out in the UK ...
