Earth’s Magnetic Song Recorded for the First Time During a Solar Storm

Data from ESA’s Cluster mission has provided a recording of the eerie “Earth’s magnetic song” that Earth sings when it is hit by a solar storm. The song comes from waves that are generated in the Earth’s magnetic field by the collision of the storm. The storm itself is the eruption of electrically charged particles ...

Vast rings of electrically charged particles encircle the Earth and other planets. Now, a team of scientists has completed research into waves that travel through this magnetic field, an electrically charged environment, known as the magnetosphere, deepening our understanding of the region and its interaction with our own planet, and opening up new ways to ...
