When NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft sailed past Jupiter in 1979, it recorded a stunning and unusual phenomenon—plasma waves as ...

The solar wind plasma goes from moving at about 400 kilometers per second (900,000 miles per hour) to being diverted and ...

Caption. Fig. 2. The different scenario of solar wind interaction of magnetic anomalies (the spatial scale is exaggerated), in both of which there is no bow shock and the ion kinetic effects dominate.

In particular, does it have a bow shock ahead? Why? 1.2. How do the lunar magnetic anomalies affect the motion of the solar wind electrons and ions inside and outside of the local magnetic structures?

In February 2022, NASA's Parker Solar Probe detected a pocket of solar wind blasting from the sun's outer atmosphere, or corona.The probe, which is the fastest human-made object in history ...
