Giant Veil of "Cold Plasma" Discovered High Above Earth


Clouds of charged particles stretch a quarter the way to the moon, experts say.

Clouds of "cold plasma" reach from the top of Earth's atmosphere to at least a quarter the distance to the moon, according to new data from a cluster of European satellites.

Earth generates cold plasma—slow-moving charged particles—at the edge of space, where sunlight strips electrons from gas atoms, leaving only their positively charged cores, or nuclei.

(Find out how cold plasma might also help explain why Mars is missing its atmosphere.)

Researchers had suspected these hard-to-detect particles might influence incoming space weather, such as this week's solar flare and resulting geomagnetic storm. That's because solar storms barrage Earth with similar but high-speed charged particles.

Still, no one could be certain what the effects of cold plasma might be without a handle on its true abundance around our planet.

"It's like the weather forecast on TV. It's very complicated to make a reasonable forecast without the basic variables," said space scientist Mats André, of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics.

"Discovering this cold plasma is like saying, Oh gosh, there are oceans here that affect our weather," he said.

The Trick to Finding Cold Plasma

Researchers already knew that some cold plasma existed in the ionosphere, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth's surface. But few researchers had looked for the clouds between 12,400 and 60,000 miles (20,000 and 100,000 kilometers) high.

André and his colleague Chris Cully suspected the plasma could be out there, but they knew the positive charge of spacecraft wasn't helping any search efforts.

Similar to the way cold plasma is created, sunlight strips electrons from spacecraft materials, making their hulls positively charged. Like two matching magnetic poles, a spacecraft would simply repulse any cold plasma around it.

To find the stuff, André and Cully instead analyzed anomalies in data from the European Space Agency's Cluster II spacecraft.

This group of four satellites swings around Earth in a highly elliptical orbit. At the orbit's peak, the probes reach nearly halfway to the moon.

The enormous distance gives researchers a chance to sweep through and monitor Earth's magnetic field and electrical activity, including the influence of "hot" charged particles emitted by the sun.

Anomalies in the Cluster II data turned out to be shockwaves from cold plasma particles moving around the satellites.

Cold Plasma a Space Weather "Elephant"

In the end, the pair found that cold plasma makes up between 50 and 70 percent of all charged particles within the farther reaches of Earth's magnetic field.

André says it's now time to start updating space-weather models to take the extra cold plasma into account—at this point, for instance, nothing is known about how the plasma might affect solar storms.

This influence is "not a minor thing in space weather," André said. "It's an elephant in the room."

The cold-plasma study has been accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters.

Bournemouth resident mystified by 'blue sphere shower'

The blue spheres are jelly-like but have no smell and are not sticky

A man in Dorset has been left mystified after tiny blue spheres fell from the sky into his garden.

Steve Hornsby from Bournemouth said the 3cm diameter balls came raining down late on Thursday afternoon during a hail storm.

He found about a dozen of the balls in his garden. He said: "[They're] difficult to pick up, I had to get a spoon and flick them into a jam jar."

The Met Office said the jelly-like substance was "not meteorological".

Mr Hornsby, a former aircraft engineer, said: "The sky went a really dark yellow colour.

"As I walked outside to go to the garage there was an instant hail storm for a few seconds and I thought, 'what's that in the grass'?"

Mr Hornsby said he was keeping the balls in his fridge while he tried to find out what they were


Walking around his garden he found many more blue spheres were scattered across the grass.

He said: "The have an exterior shell with a softer inner but have no smell, aren't sticky and do not melt."

Mr Hornsby said he was keeping the balls in his fridge while he tried to find out what they were.

Josie Pegg, an applied science research assistant at Bournemouth University, speculated that the apparently strange phenomena might be "marine invertebrate eggs".

"These have been implicated in previous 'strange goo' incidents," she said. "I'd have thought it's a little early for spawning but I suppose we've had a very mild winter.

"The transmission of eggs on birds' feet is well documented and I guess if a bird was caught out in a storm this could be the cause."

En Inglaterra, caen del cielo bolas gelatinosas azules


En Dorset, en el suroeste de Inglaterra, las personas se sorprenden que caen del cielo en la tarde del jueves durante una tormenta de granizo, las bolas de color azul, del tamaño de hasta 3 pulgadas. Bournemouth, dijo Steve Hornsby las bolas que cayeron del cielo de la tarde, cuando llegó la lluvia y el granizo. En un principio Steve pensó que era granizo, el granizo, pero cubrían el suelo mucho más y que estaba tan bien en el jardín, se encontró con las bolas azules, más de diez piezas.


Representantes de la Oficina de Meteorología, que investigó la esfera azul, dijo que no era fenómeno meteorológico. Sr. Hornsby, una campaña de ingeniero de aire antiguo, dijo: "El cielo en la lluvia y el granizo, que era de color amarillo oscuro en colores inusuales salí de mi casa al garaje y vio un cielo extraño, y luego fue a grad, tan sólo unos segundos de granizo caída.. y entre ellos en la hierba, me di cuenta de las bolas azules ", dijo a la BBC. El origen de las esferas azules extraño aún no ha sido establecida. Cabe señalar que este no es el primer descubrimiento en Gran Bretaña de sustancias extrañas. han sido previamente encontrado manchas blancas gelatinosas de forma irregular, cuyo origen no ha sido establecida.

Gracias Selma, no había encontrado esta noticia en español

gracias selma, pues a mi me parece que ya estan con pruebas del clima, mandando mierdas a la atmosfera para lluvia o nieve quien sabe, y este es el resultado, pero estas bolas en un jarron transparente quedaria muy bonito, son como diantes brutos.
