Detecting the Magnetic Fields of Exoplanets May Help Determine Habitability
Astronomers may soon be able to observe the shockwaves between the magnetic fields of exoplanets and the flow of particles from the stars they orbit. Magnetic fields are crucial to a planet’s (and as it turns out a moon’s) habitability. They act as protective bubbles, preventing harmful space radiation from stripping away the object’s atmosphere … Continue reading "Detecting the Magnetic Fields of Exoplanets May Help Determine Habitability"
