‘Star Trek’ Like Invisible Plasma Shield Discovered 7,200 Miles Above Earth Which Protects It From Radiation

The scientists of the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered a “Star Trek”-style plasma shield that is invisible and capable of blocking “killer electrons”. The shield is 7,200 miles above the Earth.


The scientists of the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered a “Star Trek”-style plasma shield that is invisible and capable of blocking “killer electrons”. The shield is 7,200 miles above the Earth. These electronstravel nearly at the speed of light, and may damage space electronics and can put the lives of astronauts at grave risk. According to Distinguished Professor Daniel Baker, director of CU-Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics,the shield was discovered in the Van Allen radiation belts, which are held in place by the magnetic field of the Earth. They are shaped like doughnuts and are full of high-energy electrons and protons

And still you want to think it all an accident!

It isn't an accident - with the endless possibilities extant in this vast universe, at sometime, somewhere, it is an inevitability.

I found him ages ago in the pantry.

Tell me, did he 4 legs with paws, smelly breath, big teeth and was he covered in hair?

He was made of chocolate ... an immaculate confection.

We could be "Raising Shields if we can identify and copy this natural phenomena...

ANALYSIS: Can We Hack Space to Reduce Spacecraft Damage?

In short, this plasmasphere could be our planet’s Star Trek shields.

“It’s like looking at the phenomenon with new eyes, with a new set of instrumentation, which give us the detail to say, ‘Yes, there is this hard, fast boundary,’” added John Foster, of MIT’s Haystack Observatory and a study co-author.

As yet, the researchers are not sure what mechanism is driving this interaction between the plasmasphere and high-energy electrons, though they suspect that low-frequency electromagnetic waves traveling through the plasmasphere may be scattering the electrons, creating a plasmaspheric ‘hiss.’ More research is needed before this mechanism can be identified as what is driving Earth’s “killer electron” shield, however, a challenge that is currently being met by the Van Allen probes.
