Description: A Coronal Mass Ejection (b) Two to 4 days later, the highest-energy gases from the ejection reach 1 AU. If they come our way, most particles are deflected by Earth’s magnetic field (blue). However, as shown, some particles leak Earthward, causing aurorae, disrupting radio communications and electric power transmission, damaging satellites, and ejecting some of Earth’s atmosphere into interplanetary space Picture Stats: Views: 696 Filesize: 178.02kB Height: 900 Width: 812 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=18371 |
