Killer electrons charge! Wrapped around Earth are two belts of trapped high-energy particles, held in place by the magnetosphere. These are known as the Van Allen radiation belts.

Understanding the Van Allen Belts Discovered in 1958 by physicist James Van Allen, the Van Allen belts are regions of intense radiation surrounding Earth, held by its magnetic field. These belts ...

The Earth's magnetic field traps high energy particles -- mostly from the sun -- in what are known as the Van Allen radiation belts, named for the astronomer who discovered them.

The Van Allen Probes' long tenure in the radiation belts is particularly valuable to scientists because of its timing. Space weather is governed by the sun, which rages and calms over an 11-year ...
