NASA’s EZIE Mission to Uncover Secrets of Auroral Electrojets and Space Weather Risks
High above Earth’s poles, powerful electrical currents known as auroral electrojets surge through the upper atmosphere whenever auroras light up the sky. These intense currents, carrying nearly a million amps per second, can cause major magnetic disturbances on the ground, sometimes leading to power outages and disruptions in communication systems. To better understand these dynamic […]
