Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could pose problems for long-distance space travel ...

Split-second bursts of energy known as chorus waves were found “chirping” in an area where they’ve never been seen before, baffling researchers. To be clear, there’s no actual chirping ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that can penetrate spacecraft shielding and destroy important systems.

Scientists have detected strange chirping waves — which resemble the dawn chorus of birds — thousands of miles from Earth, and they could pose big problems for future spaceflight. Chorus waves ...

Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called chorus waves, ripple at the same frequency as human hearing. When ...

E lectromagnetic chorus waves once thought to only exist close to the Earth have been found at a distance of 165,000 kilometers (102,526 miles) from us. Although that is still less than half the ...

Lightning can be used to probe Earth’s dynamic Van Allen radiation belts, directly connecting terrestrial weather and space ...

SHAPIRO: (Laughter) I'm sorry, what? BARBER: Yeah. LAMBERT: Finding a chorus of waves in space. SHAPIRO: Lovely. BARBER: And new ways to make plant-based cheese. SHAPIRO: Yum. Let's start with ...

And, as pretty as they sound, chorus waves can be extremely dangerous to satellites in orbit. Every other chorus wave astronomers have heard started closer to home, within about 31,690 miles ...
