can actually generate electromagnetic waves known as lightning-generated whistlers. These waves can then travel through the atmosphere out into space, where they interact with electrons in the inner ...

Lightning can be used to probe Earth’s dynamic Van Allen radiation belts, directly connecting terrestrial weather and space weather. Read from CU expert Lauren Blum on The Conversation.

A new study from my research team has found that electromagnetic waves generated by lightning can trigger these electron showers. A brief history lesson At the start of the space race in the 1950s ...

Specifically, only lightning that occurred right after so-called geomagnetic storms resulted in the bursts of electrons we detected. Geomagnetic storms are disturbances in the near-Earth space ...

and their discovery was one of the first of the space age. A new study from my research team has found that electromagnetic waves generated by lightning can trigger these electron showers. At the ...

There are trillions of charged particles – protons and electrons, the basic building blocks of matter – whizzing around above your head at any given time. These high-energy particles, which ...

The founder of SpaceX said President Trump had asked his company to return two astronauts aboard the space station to Earth “as soon as possible.” NASA said it would do that “as soon as ...
