However, the newest additions to Earth's radiation shield have survived much longer than most, likely due to the intensity of May's solar storm. The outer electron belt disappeared around three ...

This solar storm not only disrupted GPS communications but also created two new temporary radiation belts around Earth. These ...

Radiation Belts around the Earth Instruments borne aloft by artificial satellites and lunar probes indicate that our planet is encircled by two zones of high-energy particles, against which space ...

The Argus explosions had indeed created artificial radiation belts around Earth. But hopes that the Christofilos effect would provide a defensive shield against Soviet missiles faded quickly.

December 6: Pioneer 3, an American unmanned satellite, fails to reach the moon, but discovers a second radiation belt around the Earth. January: Luna 1 launches from the Soviet Union towards the ...

after bouncing around in the magnetic field surrounding Earth, created the gap between the inner and outer radiation belts. A team of scientists with the British Antarctic Survey, University of ...

Instead, they strongly suggest that there is local acceleration near 5.5 Re, and that radial diffusion actually transports electrons away from the Earth, beyond the radiation belts. In contrast to ...

This increase in radiation likely had major effects on Earth’s atmosphere, possibly altering its chemistry and circulation patterns. Around the time of the Laschamps excursion, Homo sapiens and ...
