NASA’s IBEX Charts 11 Years of Change at Boundary to Interstellar Space
As the Sun wades through the interstellar medium, it generates a hot, dense wave like the wave at the front of a boat coursing through the sea. In this illustration, this is the boundary in darker blue. IBEX has helped scientists determine the shape of the heliosphere, which has a comet-like tail.

A Cosmic Baby Is Discovered, and It's Brilliant
This illustration shows magnetic field lines protruding from a highly magnetic neutron star, or a dense nugget left over after a star goes supernova and explodes. Known as magnetars, these objects generate bright bursts of light that might be powered by their strong magnetic fields.

Could the Answer to Groundwater Resources Come From High in the Sky?
A new technique developed by Berkeley Lab researchers pairs high-resolution images derived by satellite with advanced computer modeling to estimate aquifer volume change from observed ground deformation. The method could be particularly helpful to managing groundwater resources in drought-prone agricultural regions such as California’s Central Valley.
