Published Magnetic pumping pushes plasma particles to high energies
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The solar wind is not a calm summer breeze. Instead, it is a roiling, chaotic mess of turbulence and waves. There is a lot of energy stored in this turbulence, so scientists have long thought that it heats the solar wind. However, the heating expected from turbulence is not the heating observed. Scientists now have a new idea about what heats the solar wind, a theory called magnetic pumping.
Published School students identify sounds caused by solar storm
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source School students have successfully identified sounds caused by a solar storm in the Earth's magnetic shield. The group of students identified a series of waves whose pitch decreased over the course of several days. They found that this event occurred after a Coronal Mass Ejection or 'solar storm' caused a great disturbance to Earth's space environment.
Published Satellites more at risk from fast solar wind than a major space storm
(via sciencedaily.com) Satellites are more likely to be at risk from high-speed solar wind than a major geomagnetic storm according to a new study.
