Earth's Radiation Belts "Fully Charged" As Next Solar Storm Could Spark Particle Precipitation
The Van Allen radiation belts are massive, doughnut-shaped regions of charged particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field. When the Sun blasts Earth with strong solar wind or solar storms, energetic particles are injected into these belts, increasing their overall energy levels.
Now, the Van Allen radiation belts are "fully charged," according to space weather observer Stefan Burns. He warns that these belts of energetic particles have been building up due to repeated solar storms over the past few months.
"The next solar storm to hit could cause this plasma to precipitate downward toward the planet's upper atmosphere," Burns said.
Earth's radiation belts are FULLY CHARGED after repeated solar wind and solar storm impacts over the last couple months. Next solar storm to hit will cause this plasma to "precipitate" down towards the planet's surface pic.twit...
