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 ...
