The northern lights are created by high-powered electromagnetic waves that propel electrons toward Earth at a speed of millions of miles per hour
Physicists say they know how the awe-inspiring aurora borealis light shows are formed and can for the first time prove it in a lab. It all has to do with surfing and waves. Electrons...
Electrons 'surf' these waves across space at millions of miles an hour, only to wipe out in Earth's atmosphere.
It was a 20-year space quest that found proof that geomagnetic storms unleash electrons traveling 45 million mph that crash into Earth's atmosphere.
The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is a spectacular natural light display. Researchers at the University of Iowa have now found that the most brilliant auroras are made by powerful electromagnetic waves during geomagnetic storms. We find out more
