Scientists find a possible explanation for tiny patterns in the northern lights
The northern lights can spread across the sky like glowing curtains, but some of their smallest ripples remain difficult to explain. New research suggests that electrons bouncing against waves high above Earth may help create these delicate patterns. Scientists studied unusually detailed observations of an aurora and compared them with a mathematical model. Their results […]
A new analysis of high-resolution images indicates that plasma waves could additionally accelerate electrons and influence such fine light patterns. However, the supposed mechanism comes from a simplified model calculation. Southampton (England). Polar lights arise when energy-rich electrons from near-earth space [...] The article Plasma waves can trigger fine patterns in the polar light appeared first on scanxx
