Lab launches interdisciplinary Space Science Institute
What are the next world-class, game-changing concepts and technologies that will address the most important questions in astrophysics or planetary science? Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers will soon be better equipped to answer this question with the launch this month of a new Space Science Institute (SSI), intended to boost cross-discipline collaboration and discovery.
Sponsored jointly by LLNL’s Physical and Life Sciences (PLS) and Global Security (GS) organizations, SSI will build on Livermore strengths in astrophysics, earth science, nuclear science and engineering, cosmochemistry and data science to develop a pipeline of LLNL-led projects and mission-ready people. According to Glenn Fox, PLS principal associate director, the new institute will foster a strategic vision for LLNL’s space science research while growing and enhancing its external profile in the space science community.

10 Stunning New Ways To Visualize How The Earth Works
Earth’s green-blue visage is awful nice, but we see it so often that we’re sick of it. Luckily, NASA and other space agencies are constantly dreaming up new ways to visualize the countless terrestrial processes we take for granted.
10Earth’s Plasmasphere
The plasmasphere is the inner portion of Earth’s magnetic field, and it’s fabulous. Recently, astronomers have found a constant flux of particles between the two electrically charged regions, forming a terrestrial version of the solar wind.
As solar UV radiation strikes the atmosphere, it kicks off a gigantic ionic rave. Tiny electrons are whipped up and ionize other particles, creating a magnetic stew high above Earth’s surface. The flow is somewhat modest in cosmic terms. It releases only about 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of charged material into the outer magnetosphere per second. Daily, this adds up to 90 tons of plasma discharge, and this flowing electric material for
