Blue Origin just made spaceflight history! 🚀 The towering New Glenn booster stuck the landing on its second flight, becoming the first non-SpaceX rocket to land after reaching orbit. With two launches and two successes, New Glenn is officially in the heavy-lift race. This mission also carried NASA’s ESCAPADE twins, now on their way to study Mars’ magnetic field. #Mars #Rocket #NASA #Space #Science | Museum of Science, Boston

Could humans really terraform Mars? Warming the planet is only the beginning. Without a magnetic field, Mars would lose its atmosphere to the Sun. So yes — it’s possible in theory. But it would take centuries. #Mars #Space #Science #astronomy #DidYouKnow | Field of Facts

Earth’s magnetic field is a powerful shield that protects our planet from the solar wind — streams of charged particles constantly flowing from the Sun. 🧲🌍 Most of this material gets deflected by the magnetosphere, but some becomes trapped in the Van Allen radiation belts, while others are guided toward the poles. When these particles collide with atmospheric gases, they create the glowing curtains of light we call auroras. Without this protective shield, Earth’s atmosphere would gradually ero
