The BELA instrument on the next ESA/JAXA mission to Mercury will measure tidal elevation changes using laser altimeter data. more

The solar magnetic field is mostly axisymmetric at large-scale with latitudinal dynamo wave propagating from mid-latitudes towards the equator, as can be seen from observations of the solar cycle. Reproducing this pattern is one of the main demands that a numerical model has to satisfy. more
