Mysterious Radiation Belts Detected Around Earth

Stormy surprise: Unexpected radiation belts linger after solar blast
In May 2024, a powerful solar storm significantly impacted our planet, with effects reaching even the ocean floor. Due to a series of solar flares, our planet experienced a substantial influx of particles originating from the Sun.
Mysterious Radiation Belts Detected Around Earth After Epic Solar Storm
Radiation belts are a normal part of the architecture of a planet with a global magnetic field. Stars are constantly leaking particles, borne by a stellar wind; these stream out and, where they encounter planetary magnetic fields, become entrapped, forming vast belts in toroidal formation around the planet in the center.
NASA CubeSat detects unexpected radiation belts after 2024 solar storm
A historic solar storm in May 2024 not only triggered spectacular auroras but also created two new temporary radiation belts around Earth
NASA CubeSat Finds New Radiation Belts After May 2024 Solar Storm
The May 2024 solar storm created two new temporary belts of high-energy particles surrounding Earth. The findings are particularly important for spacecraft launching into geostationary orbits, which can be damaged as they traverse the dangerous belts.
That Huge 2024 Solar Storm Didn’t Just Light Up the Skies—It Reshaped Space Near Earth
A NASA satellite that suddenly reappeared after going silent gets credit for the remarkable discovery—a pair of temporary radiation belts between the Van Allen Belts.
