Alfven waves drive stable electric fields that power auroras

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 The shimmering curtains of the aurora form when energetic electrons plunge into Earths upper atmosphere and collide with atoms and molecules, releasing light across the polar skies. For decades, scientists have known that these electrons are accelerated by intense electric fields above the auroral regions, but they lacked a clear explanation for how those fields are generated and sustained in ne

First Crewed Moon Flyby In 54 Years: Artemis II

Tempe AZ (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 Almost as tall as a football field, NASAs Space Launch System rocket and capsule stack traveled slowly - just under 1 mile per hour - out to the Artemis II launchpad, its temporary home at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on Jan. 17, 2026. That slow crawl is in stark contrast to the peak velocity it will reach on launch day, over 22,000 miles per hour, when it will send a crew of four on a j

Dark matter core may drive Milky Way center

London, UK (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 Our Milky Way galaxy may not host a supermassive black hole at its center but instead an enormous concentration of dark matter that exerts an equivalent gravitational influence on nearby stars and gas, according to new research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The authors argue that this invisible substance, which makes up most of the universe's mass, can account b

NASA Study: Non-biologic Processes Don't Fully Explain Mars Organics

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 In a new study, researchers say that non-biological sources they considered could not fully account for the abundance of organic compounds in a sample collected on Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover. In March 2025, scientists reported identifying small amounts of decane, undecane, and dodecane in a rock sample analyzed in the chemistry lab aboard Curiosity. These were the largest organic compo

'The beacons were lit!' A system to detect and map merging black holes

New Haven CT (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black holes - known as supermassive black hole binaries - around the universe. Such a map would provide a vital new way to explore and understand astronomy and physics, just as X-rays and radio wave

Runaway black hole jet outshines legendary death star

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 A supermassive black hole that shredded a nearby star is blasting out a jet of energy that has kept brightening for four years, in one of the most powerful events ever recorded in the universe. The outburst comes from a tidal disruption event designated AT2018hyz, in which a star strayed too close to a black hole and was torn apart by intense gravitational forces in a process astronomers d

Thunderstorm, not eclipse, drove tree signal spike in Dolomites

Paris, France (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 Around 14 hours before a partial solar eclipse crossed the Dolomites in northern Italy, a cluster of spruce trees showed a sharp, synchronized rise in electrical activity. A new opinion paper argues that this spike did not reflect any anticipatory response to the eclipse but was instead triggered by a local thunderstorm and nearby lightning. In a widely publicized study, Chiolerio and coll
