Dungey Cycle (Planetary science 🪐)
The Dungey cycle, officially proposed by James Dungey in 1961, is a phenomenon that explains interactions between a planet's magnetosphere and solar wind. Dungey originally proposed a cyclic behavior of magnetic reconnection between Earth's magnetosphere and flux of solar wind. This reconnection explained previously observed dynamics withi...

Magnetic pulsations (Earth 🌍)
Magnetic pulsations are extremely low frequency disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere driven by its interactions with the solar wind. These variations in the planet's magnetic field can oscillate for multiple hours when a solar wind driving force strikes a resonance. This is a form of Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. The intensity...

Space hurricane (Storm 🌪️)
A space hurricane is a huge, funnel-like, spiral geomagnetic storm that occurs above the polar Ionosphere of Earth, during extremely quiet conditions. They are related to the aurora borealis phenomenon, as the electron precipitation from the storm's funnel produces gigantic, cyclone-shaped auroras. Scientists believe that they occur in the polar regions of planets w...
