Electrons in a Van Allen radiation belt (blue) encounter whistler waves (purple) and are sent raining toward the north pole (red). THEMIS satellites are seen near the radiation belt, while UCLA ...
Relativistic electrons in the outer Van Allen ... the radiation belts. In contrast to radial diffusion, which necessarily acts over large distances of the order of 1 Re, gyro-resonant wave ...
Earth grew a pair of extra "radiation belts" after a supercharged solar storm rocked our planet's magnetic field last year, data from a resurrected NASA spacecraft reveal. And one of the invisible ...
During that time it passed through the Van Allen belt and gave RadPC the chance to earn its name. Radiation and computers don’t mix because a single high-energy particle can, according to NASA ...
The twin Van Allen Probes have spent more than six years orbiting through Earth's radiation belts. Orbit changes in early 2019 will ensure that the spacecraft eventually de-orbit and disintegrate ...
