When lightning strikes, the electrons come pouring down. In a new study, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, led by an undergraduate student, have discovered a novel connection between ...

Four planets locked in a perfect rhythm around a nearby star are destined to bounce off each other just like in a pinball game, a new study suggests. Astronomers modelled how the change in ...

"Killer electrons" stashed in radiation belts around Earth could be dislodged by lightning to create a game of "cosmic pinball" that influences space weather around our planet. Lightning strikes ...

The distinctive belt of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter may have been shaped during a game of planetary pinball almost 4 billion years ago. A new study suggests that the migration of the mighty gas ...
