5 min read NASA’s STORIE Mission to Tell Tale of Earth’s Ring Current Earth’s magnetic field is like a powerful trap. It lures electrically charged particles in space, near our planet, and snares them in an invisible, doughnut-shaped pen around Earth known as the ring current. This captive swarm ofContinue Reading
NASA’s WB-57 airplane idles on the runway in preparation for a SABRE mission flight in 2023. Nic Beres, University of Vienna Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have turned to one of NASA’s high-altitude research planes to characterize a population of tiny particles in Earth’sContinue Reading
Participants broke a long-standing taboo by openly linking oil and gas not just to emissions, but to war, displacement and economic instability. By Bob Berwyn While some major fossil fuel producers keep pushing for expanded oil and gas use, which is linked to warfare, economic shocks and ecological damage, moreContinue Reading
