NASA scientists have discovered a third global energy field around Earth. Known as the ambipolar electric field, this force drives charged particles into space above the poles. Two major global energy ...
New satellite-based analysis explains how energy carried by Alfvén waves moves from Earth’s magnetosphere into the atmosphere to generate auroral light emissions.
During the 1960s, spacecraft traveling above Earth's poles discovered a stream of particles flowing out of the Earth's poles, and theorized that there must be an unknown field driving these particles ...
