Our Plasma Atmosphere - The Van Allen Belts | |
Swinging on Spirals (OP) User ID: 865798 United States 07/18/2012 09:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Van Allen radiation belt is a torus of energetic charged particles (plasma) around Earth, which is held in place by Earth's magnetic field. It is thought that most of the particles that form the belts come from solar wind, and other particles by cosmic rays.[1] It is named after its discoverer, James Van Allen, and is located in the inner region of the Earth's magnetosphere. It is split into two distinct belts, with energetic electrons forming the outer belt and a combination of protons and electrons forming the inner belts. In addition, the radiation belts contain lesser amounts of other nuclei, such as alpha particles. The belts pose a hazard to satellites, which must protect their sensitive components with adequate shielding if their orbit spends significant time in the radiation belts.

He had in fact been doing this for a quarter of a century. Shaking his head at his own folly, he dusted himself off, set his gaze upon the road up the mountain and once more set off upon his journey. |

ltdan08 User ID: 1487396 United States 07/19/2012 10:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's amazing how daily gnews and events are becoming more interconnected each day! I sent this to the thunderbolts.info team: I wonder if you might comment (if it's worth commenting) on the recent uptick in electrical storms' intensity. Many places on Earth seem to be receiving unusually strong severe weather. I have been reading comments online about lightning being louder, brighter, long-lasting, and I have even seen videos of more and more upward lightning strikes (earth-originating). Is the surface of the Earth becoming more electrically charged than previous years and what other effects could we look to for evidence? Other than noctilucent clouds, of course, which are being observed for longer than their season and lower in latitude on a daily basis now! Also, spaceweather.com has been running a feature on their front page about noctilucent clouds and they are trying to blame it on global warming! HA! Laughable! Finally, have you heard about the Radiation Belt Storms Probe (RBSP) NASA is launching in August? It seems like a fascinating mission that will only put another nail in the coffin of the gravity-centric, electrically-neutral cosmology model. I wonder if your team could publish a few predictions for this one. I'll start: a direct connection could be discovered between the Sun and the Earth that is nearly realtime and the charge from the Sun entering the Van Allen Belts is transferred to the surface of the planet almost as quickly. If NASA is open and honest (they're not), this could eliminate the speed of light speed limit set in place for the whole universe. Also, maybe a magnetic/electrical footprint of the moon might be observed? Thanks for all your hard work! |

Desks, books, chairs and bodies don't generally carry electricity and they don't stick to magnets. But life on Earth is substantially different from, well, almost everywhere else. Beyond Earth's protective atmosphere and extending all the way through interplanetary space, electrified particles dominate the scene. Indeed, 99% of the universe is made of this electrified gas, known as plasma. Quoting: Swinging on Spirals :earthplasmadonut: Two giant donuts of this plasma surround Earth, trapped within a region known as the Van Allen Radiation Belts. The belts lie close to Earth, sandwiched between satellites in geostationary orbit above and satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) are generally below the belts. Plasmas seethe with complex movement. They generally flow along a skeletal structure made of invisible magnetic field lines, while simultaneously creating more magnetic fields as they move. While the most immediate practical need for studying the radiation belts is to understand the space weather system near Earth and to protect humans and precious electronics in space from geomagnetic storms, there is another reason scientists are interested in this area. It is the closest place to study the material, plasma, that pervades the entire universe. Understanding this environment so foreign to our own is crucial to understanding the make up of every star and galaxy in outer space.
