Land surrounds the
dynamic area, which accept the name of the magnetosphere. This area is
controlled by the magnetic and electric forces coming from the sun energy and
matter, as well as a variety of waves and processes that differ from those that
are commonly found in terrestrial physics. Within this constantly changing
magnetic "bubble" is toroidal formation of charged particles, the
plane of which coincides with the plane of Earth's equator.
This zone is called
the ring current, and it has a significant impact on space weather, the
observed around our planet, because it can transmit the fluctuation of the
magnetic field on the Earth or to report malicious surface charges hulls of
spaceships.
June 15, 2008 study of
this mysterious region was launched by NASA spacecraft, dubbed the Two
Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers, or TWINS. These devices are
moving in the widely separated from each other planes, providing a unique
stereoscopic view of the Earth's ring current.
In 5 years of
operation, the probes have helped scientists make three-dimensional maps of
this unique region of the magnetosphere, will greatly improve the existing
scientific models of the magnetic shell of our planet.
