An invisible shield protects the Earth from killer electrons

An invisible shield protects the Earth from killer electronsA photo from open sources scientists from massachusetts technological Institute found at an altitude of 11.5 thousand km above the Earth’s surface an invisible shield that protects the planet from ultrafast particles accelerating to near light speeds, reports Los Angeles Times. A study in which scientists discovered protective barrier, was published in the journal Nature. It looks like technology from the movie Star Trek, but researchers claim that this is not science fiction at all. Scientist Daniel Baker says that as if electrons hit a glass wall in space. is he noted that this is really a mysterious phenomenon. High speed the “killer electrons” from Van Allen’s radiation belt cannot penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere, as it is surrounded by an invisible a barrier, researchers are sure. However, they still suggest that this happens under the influence of particles of the plasmasphere. Earlier it was believed that superfast electrons penetrate the atmosphere, but interact with its molecules, which is why they do not reach the surface of the planet.
