Invisible Plasma Shield, Which Protects Earth From Radiation, Discovered 7,200 Miles Above Earth’s Surface

The Earth is protected from fast-moving “killer electrons” by an invisible plasma shield, which is located thousands of miles above the earth’s surface, according to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Colorado Boulder. High above the Earth’s atmosphere, harmful electrons that make up the outer band of the Van Allen radiation belt travel at nearly the speed of light, pelting everything in their path. Exposure to such high-energy radiation can harm satellite electronics and pose serious health risks to astronauts. However, despite their intense energy, these electrons -- circling around the earth's equator ...
