BREAKING NEWS: New Discoveries of Van Allen Belt and
Earth’s Magnetic Field

“The Sun has been a driver of these systems more than we had any right to expect,” says Daniel Baker, Principal Investigator, Van Allen Probes Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (REPT).“We’re seeing brand new features we hadn’t expected.” In a press conference on Dec. 4th members of the Van Allen Probes science team discussed current findings made in unlocking the mysteries of the radiation belts. Energetic events and ejections of plasma from the Sun caused dramatic changes in the radiation belts that, for the first time, were observed by twin spacecraft within the belts.
“We expected to see a fairly placid radiation belt system,”Baker reports. “Instead, we see that the belts have been extraordinarily active and dynamic during the first few weeks. We’re looking in the right places at the right times.” The twin probes, built and managed for NASA by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., contain identical sets of five instrument suites. These suites have confirmed previous hypotheses about the belts’ behavior, while also revealing that the belts are a far more dynamic and changing environment than previously thought.

Our planet’s magnetosphere captures charged particlesfrom the billions of tons of plasma ejected by the Sun and from other sources; fields and waves of electricity and magnetism control and guide the charged particles within the belts, with the particles “surfing” on the waves, losing or gaining large amounts of energy along the way as they enter and leave the region.
