Earth Has a New Van Allen Belt, with Heliophysicist C. Alex Young
Earth typically has 2 Van Allen belts. They are 2 donut-shaped belts of charged particles, encircling Earth. But scientists have just realized Earth now has a 3rd, temporary Van Allen belt, caused by the big solar storm of May, 2024. When were the Van Allen belts first discovered? How long have we known that Earth could have a temporary 3rd belt, in addition to the 2 stable ones? What ARE the Van Allen belts, anyway? Will the new belt increase risk for the Artemis 2 astronauts, headed for the moon? Join EarthSky's Deborah Byrd and heliophysicist C. Alex Young of Goddard Spaceflight Center LIVE at 3 p.m. central (20 UTC) on Friday, August 2, as they talk about the 3rd Van Allen Belt, and more.
