83. <p>Asimismo, Kassidy McLaughlin, ingeniera de sistemas de vuelo, descubrió que la mentoría y la experiencia práctica como pasante fueron clave para su desarrollo profesional. Actualmente ella dirige el desarrollo de una estación de control terrestre en la NASA Armstrong.&nbsp;</p>
84.  
85.  
86.  
87. <p>En la secundaria y la universidad, McLaughlin se inscribió a clases STEM, sabiendo que quería seguir una carrera en ingeniería. Animada por su madre a solicitar una pasantía en la NASA, la carrera de McLaughlin comenzó en 2014 como pasante de la Oficina de Participación STEM de la NASA Armstrong. Más adelante hizo la transición al programa Pathways.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
88.  
89.  
90.  
91. <p>“Mi mentor me dio las herramientas necesarias y me animó a hacer preguntas,” dijo McLaughlin. “Me ayudó a ver que era capaz de cualquier cosa si me lo proponía.”&nbsp;</p>
92.  
93.  
94.  
95. <p>Durante cinco rotaciones como pasante, ella trabajó en el proyecto Sistemas de Aeronaves no tripulados integrados en el Sistema Nacional del Espacio Aéreo (<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/armd/integrated-aviation-systems-program/uas-in-the-nas/uas-integration-in-the-nas-about-us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UAS in the NAS,</a> por su acrónimo inglés). “Es una sensación muy gratificante estar en una sala de control cuando algo en lo que has trabajado está volando,” dijo McLaughlin. Esa experiencia la inspiró a seguir la carrera de ingeniería mecánica.&nbsp;</p>
96.  
97.  
98.  
99. <p>“La NASA Armstrong ofrecía algo especial en cuanto a la gente,” dijo McLaughlin. “La cultura en el centro es muy amable y todos son muy acogedores.”&nbsp;</p>

391. <p>Similarly, flight systems engineer Kassidy McLaughlin discovered that mentorship and hands-on experience as an intern were key to her professional development. She currently leads the development of a ground control station at NASA Armstrong.</p>
392.  
393.  
394.  
395. <p>In high school and college, McLaughlin enrolled in STEM classes, knowing she wanted to pursue a career in engineering. Encouraged by her mother to apply for a NASA internship, McLaughlin’s career began in 2014 as an intern for NASA Armstrong’s Office of STEM Engagement. She later transitioned to the Pathways program.</p>
396.  
397.  
398.  
399. <p>“My mentor gave me the tools necessary, and encouraged me to ask questions,” McLaughlin said. “He helped show me that I was capable of anything if I set my mind to it.”</p>
400.  
401.  
402.  
403. <p>During five rotations as an intern, she worked on the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration in the National Airspace System (<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/armd/integrated-aviation-systems-program/uas-in-the-nas/uas-integration-in-the-nas-about-us/">UAS in the NAS</a>) project. “It is such a rewarding feeling to be in a control room when something you have worked on is flying,” McLaughlin said. That experience inspired her to pursue a career in mechanical engineering.</p>
404.  
405.  
406.  
407. <p>“NASA Armstrong offered something special when it came to the people,” McLaughlin said. “The culture at the center is so friendly and everyone is so welcoming.”</p>

421. <p>Julio Treviño, lead operations engineer for NASA’s <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/aeronautics/global-hawk-uas/">Global Hawk SkyRange</a> project, ensures airworthiness throughout the planning, integration, and flight phases of unique systems and vehicles. He is also a certified mission controller, mission director, and flight test engineer for various agency aircraft.</p>
422.  
423.  
424.  
425. <p>Much like McLaughlin, Treviño began his journey in 2018 as a Pathway’s intern for the <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/armstrong/dynamics-and-controls/#:~:text=The%20Dynamics%20and%20Controls%20branch,systems%2C%20components%2C%20and%20methodologies.">Dynamic and Controls</a> branch at NASA Armstrong. That experience paved the way for success after graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering.</p>
426.  
427.  
428.  
429. <p>“As an intern, I had the opportunity to work on designing and creating a battery model for an all-electric aircraft,” Treviño said. “It was officially published as a NASA software model for use by anyone throughout the agency.”</p>
430.  
431.  
432.  
433. <p>Treviño also credits NASA’s culture and people as the best part of his internship. “I had very supportive mentors throughout my time as an intern and the fact that everyone here genuinely loves the work that they do is awesome,” he said.</p>

689. <p>NASA will host a live Twitch event to highlight the ongoing <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-invites-creators-to-design-mascot-for-artemis-moon-mission/">Moon Mascot Challenge</a>, which invites the public to design a zero gravity indicator for the agency’s Artemis II crewed test flight around the Moon. Viewers will have the opportunity to provide real-time input to an artist who will create an example of a zero gravity indicator during the livestream.&nbsp;</p>
690.  
691.  
692.  
693. <p>Zero gravity indicators are small, plush items carried aboard spacecraft to provide a visual indication of when the crew reaches space.</p>
694.  
695.  
696.  
697. <p>The event will begin at 3 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, May 13, on the agency’s official Twitch channel:</p>
698.  
699.  
700.  
701. <p class="has-text-align-center"><a href="https://www.twitch.tv/nasa" rel="noopener">https://www.twitch.tv/nasa</a></p>
702.  
703.  
704.  
705. <p>The contest invites global creators of all ages to submit design ideas for a zero gravity indicator that will fly aboard the agency’s <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/mission/artemis-ii/">Artemis II</a> test flight, the first crewed mission under NASA’s Artemis campaign.</p>
706.  
707.  
708.  
709. <p>Up to 25 finalists, including entries from a K-12 student division, will be selected. The Artemis II crew will choose one design that NASA’s Thermal Blanket Lab will fabricate to fly alongside the crew in the Orion spacecraft.</p>
710.  
711.  
712.  
713. <p>During this Twitch event, NASA experts will discuss the Moon Mascot Challenge while the artist incorporates live audience feedback into a sample design. Although the design example will not be eligible for the contest, it will demonstrate how challenge participants can develop their own zero gravity indicator designs. The example will be shared on the @NASAArtemis social media accounts following the Twitch event.</p>
714.  
715.  
716.  
717. <p>The Artemis II test flight will take NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back. The mission is another step toward missions on the lunar surface to help the agency prepare for future human missions to Mars.</p>

809. <p><em>Headed for Jupiter’s moon Europa, the spacecraft did some sightseeing, using a flyby of Mars to calibrate its infrared imaging instrument.</em></p>
810.  
811.  
812.  
813. <p>On its recent swing by Mars, NASA’s Europa Clipper took the opportunity to capture infrared images of the Red Planet. The data will help mission scientists calibrate the spacecraft’s thermal imaging instrument so they can be sure it’s operating correctly when Europa Clipper arrives at the Jupiter system in 2030.</p>
814.  
815.  
816.  
817. <p>The mission’s sights are set on Jupiter’s moon Europa and the global ocean hidden under its icy surface. A year after slipping into orbit around Jupiter, <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/europa-clipper/" rel="noopener">Europa Clipper</a> will begin a series of 49 close flybys of the moon to investigate whether it holds conditions suitable for life.</p>
818.  
819.  
820.  
821. <p>A key element of that investigation will be thermal imaging — global scans of Europa that map temperatures to shed light on how active the surface is. Infrared imaging will reveal how much heat is being emitted from the moon; warmer areas of the ice give off more energy and indicate recent activity.</p>
822.  
823.  
824.  
825. <p>The imaging also will tell scientists where the ocean is closest to the surface. Europa is crisscrossed by dramatic ridges and fractures, which scientists believe are caused by ocean convection pulling apart the icy crust and water rising up to fill the gaps.</p>

830.  
831. <p>“We want to measure the temperature of those features,” said Arizona State University’s Phil Christensen, principal investigator of Europa Clipper’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/ems/07_infraredwaves/" rel="noopener">infrared</a> camera, called the Europa Thermal Imaging System (<a href="https://europa.nasa.gov/spacecraft/instruments/e-themis/" rel="noopener">E-THEMIS</a>). “If Europa is a really active place, those fractures will be warmer than the surrounding ice where the ocean comes close to the surface. Or if water erupted onto the surface hundreds to thousands of years ago, then those surfaces could still be relatively warm.”</p>
832.  
833.  
834.  
835. <p><strong>Why Mars</strong></p>
836.  
837.  
838.  
839. <p>On March 1, Europa Clipper flew just 550 miles (884 kilometers) above the surface of Mars in order to use the planet’s gravitational pull to <a href="https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-europa-clipper-uses-mars-to-go-the-distance/" rel="noopener">reshape the spacecraft’s trajectory</a>. Ultimately, the assist will get the mission to Jupiter faster than if it made a beeline for the gas giant, but the flyby also offered a critical opportunity for Europa Clipper to test E-THEMIS.</p>
840.  
841.  
842.  
843. <p>For about 18 minutes on March 1, the instrument captured one image per second, yielding more than a thousand grayscale pictures that were transmitted to Earth starting on May 5. After compiling these images into a global snapshot of Mars, scientists applied color, using hues with familiar associations: Warm areas are depicted in red, while colder areas are shown as blue.</p>
844.  
845.  
846.  
847. <p>By comparing E-THEMIS images with those made from established Mars data, scientists can judge how well the instrument is working.</p>
848.  
849.  
850.  
851. <p>“We wanted no surprises in these new images,” Christensen said. “The goal was to capture imagery of a planetary body we know extraordinarily well and make sure the dataset looks exactly the way it should, based on 20 years of instruments documenting Mars.”</p>
852.  
853.  
854.  
855. <p>NASA’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/odyssey/" rel="noopener">Mars Odyssey</a> orbiter, launched in 2001, carries a sister instrument named THEMIS that has been capturing its own thermal images of the Red Planet for decades. To be extra thorough, the Odyssey team collected thermal images of Mars before, during, and after Europa Clipper’s flyby so that Europa scientists can compare the visuals as an additional gauge of how well E-THEMIS is calibrated.</p>
856.  
857.  
858.  
859. <p>Europa Clipper also took advantage of the close proximity to Mars to test all the components of its <a href="https://europa.nasa.gov/spacecraft/instruments/reason/" rel="noopener">radar instrument</a> in unison for the first time. The radar antennas and the wavelengths they produce are so long that it wasn’t possible for engineers to can do that in a clean room before launch. The radar data will be returned and analyzed in the coming weeks and months, but preliminary assessments of the real-time telemetry indicate that the test went well.</p>
860.  
861.  
862.  
863. <p>To leverage the flyby even further, the science team took the opportunity to ensure that the spacecraft’s telecommunication equipment will be able to conduct <a href="https://europa.nasa.gov/spacecraft/instruments/gravity-radio-science/" rel="noopener">gravity experiments</a> at Europa. By transmitting signals to Earth while passing through Mars’ gravity field, they were able to confirm that a similar operation is expected to work at Europa.</p>
864.  
865.  
866.  
867. <p>Europa Clipper <a href="https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/liftoff-nasas-europa-clipper-sails-toward-ocean-moon-of-jupiter/" rel="noopener">launched</a> from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 14, 2024, via a SpaceX Falcon Heavy, embarking on a 1.8 billion-mile (2.9 billion-kilometer) journey to Jupiter, which is five times farther from the Sun than Earth is. Now that the probe has harnessed the gravity of Mars, its next gravity assist will be from Earth in 2026.</p>

872.  
873.  
874.  
875. <p>Europa Clipper’s three main science objectives are to determine the thickness of the moon’s icy shell and its interactions with the ocean below, to investigate its composition, and to characterize its geology. The mission’s detailed exploration of Europa will help scientists better understand the astrobiological potential for habitable worlds beyond our planet.</p>
876.

878.  
879. <p>Managed by Caltech in Pasadena, California, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California leads the development of the Europa Clipper mission in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. APL designed the main spacecraft body in collaboration with JPL and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The Planetary Missions Program Office at NASA Marshall executes program management of the Europa Clipper mission. NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at NASA Kennedy, managed the launch service for the Europa Clipper spacecraft.</p>

1151.  
1152.  
1153. <p>A NASA internship provides a stellar opportunity to launch your future as part of America’s aerospace workforce. NASA interns take on meaningful work and contribute to exciting agency projects with the guidance of a supportive mentor. The internship program regularly ranks as the nation’s most prestigious and competition is steep: in fiscal year 2024, NASA&#8217;s Office of STEM Engagement selected nearly 1,800 interns out of 38,000 applicants.</p>
1154.  
1155.  
1156.  
1157. <p>To give you the best shot at a NASA internship, we’ve compiled a list of tips mentors say can make an application stand out from the crowd. It is NASA’s mentors who create internship project descriptions, review applications, and take the lead in choosing candidates to work on their specific internship projects. Here’s what they had to say:</p>
1158.  
1159.  
1160.  
1161. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Your personal statement is your chance to make a lasting impression.</strong></h3>
1162.  
1163.  
1164.  
1165. <p>Mentors pay close attention to personal statements to identify the best candidate for their project and team. A powerful personal statement combines core content, such as personal background and goals, with content tailored to the needs of the project.</p>
1166.  
1167.  
1168.  
1169. <p>NASA mentors are looking for interns who will enjoy the work and fit in with the team culture. Beyond your academic background, grades, and interests, this is your chance to share your curiosity, enthusiasm, passion, or resilience. Show us who you are and what you can do!</p>
1170.  
1171.  
1172.  
1173. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Show off your academic achievements.</strong></h3>
1174.  
1175.  
1176.  
1177. <p>Mentors love to see what academic expertise and hands-on experience you can bring to the internship project. Your resume, transcripts, grade point average, coursework, research, academic projects, awards, and accomplishments are valuable highlights in your application.</p>
1178.  
1179.  
1180.  
1181. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Tell us about your extracurriculars, too!</strong></h3>
1182.  
1183.  
1184.  
1185. <p>Who are you outside the classroom?</p>
1186.  
1187.  
1188.  
1189. <p>Mentors like to see well-rounded candidates whose interests take them beyond their chosen academic and career path. Include any extracurricular activities you participate in, such as a club or team at school or an organization in your community. Whether you’re involved in a local rocketry club, a school athletic team, or a music ensemble, these pursuits may demonstrate academic skills or soft skills such as collaboration. Shared hobbies can also be a great point of personal connection with a future mentor.</p>
1190.  
1191.  
1192.  
1193. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Include as many of your skills as possible.</strong></h3>
1194.  
1195.  
1196.  
1197. <p>You have valuable skills you can bring to an internship project! These could be technical skills, such as experience with specific tools or computer programming languages, and non-technical skills, which may include communications skills or leadership experience. Mentors search for skills that meet their project requirements, so the more of your skills you share on your application, the better your chances of matching with the role.</p>
1198.  
1199.  
1200.  
1201. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Give yourself a chance.</strong></h3>
1202.  
1203.  
1204.  
1205. <p>Don’t count yourself out before you get started! If you have a passion for spaceflight or aviation, it’s worth applying for a NASA internship – even if you’re not a math, science, engineering, or technology major. That’s because NASA achieves its exploration goals with the support of a nationwide team with a wide variety of skills: communicators, creatives, business specialists, legal experts, and so many more. Take a look at NASA’s internship opportunities and you’ll find projects in many of these fields.</p>
1206.  
1207.  
1208.  
1209. <p>Yes, competition is fierce. But someone is going to land that internship – and that person could be you.</p>

1366. <p>NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured new details of the auroras on our solar system’s largest planet. The dancing lights observed on Jupiter are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on Earth. With Webb’s advanced sensitivity, astronomers have studied the phenomena to better understand Jupiter’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/heliophysics/focus-areas/magnetosphere-ionosphere/" rel="noopener">magnetosphere</a>.</p>
1367. <p>Auroras are created when high-energy particles enter a planet’s atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with atoms or molecules of gas. On Earth these are known as the Northern and Southern Lights. Not only are the auroras on Jupiter huge in size, they are also hundreds of times more energetic than those in Earth’s atmosphere. Earth’s auroras are caused by <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/sun/solar-storms-and-flares/" rel="noopener">solar storms</a> — when charged particles from the Sun rain down on the upper atmosphere, energize gases, and cause them to glow in shades of red, green and purple.</p>

1378. <p>Jupiter has an additional source for its auroras: The strong magnetic field of the gas giant grabs charged particles from its surroundings. This includes not only the charged particles within the <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/planetary-science/effects-of-the-solar-wind/" rel="noopener">solar wind</a> but also the particles thrown into space by its orbiting moon Io, known for its numerous and large volcanoes. Io’s volcanoes spew particles that escape the moon’s gravity and orbit Jupiter. A barrage of charged particles unleashed by the Sun also reaches the planet. Jupiter’s large and powerful magnetic field captures all of the charged particles and accelerates them to tremendous speeds. These speedy particles slam into the planet’s atmosphere at high energies, which excites the gas and causes it to glow.</p>

1389. <p>Now, Webb’s unique capabilities are providing new insights into the auroras on Jupiter. The telescope’s sensitivity allows astronomers to capture fast-varying auroral features. New data was captured with Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) Dec. 25, 2023, by a team of scientists led by Jonathan Nichols from the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom.</p>
1390. <p>“What a Christmas present it was – it just blew me away!” shared Nichols. “We wanted to see how quickly the auroras change, expecting them to fade in and out ponderously, perhaps over a quarter of an hour or so. Instead, we observed the whole auroral region fizzing and popping with light, sometimes varying by the second.”</p>
1391. <p>In particular, the team studied emission from the trihydrogen cation (H<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>), which can be created in auroras. They found that this emission is far more variable than previously believed. The observations will help develop scientists’ understanding of how Jupiter’s upper atmosphere is heated and cooled.</p>
1392. <p>The team also uncovered some unexplained observations in their data.</p>
1393. <p>“What made these observations even more special is that we also took pictures simultaneously in the ultraviolet with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope,” added Nichols. “Bizarrely, the brightest light observed by Webb had no real counterpart in Hubble’s pictures. This has left us scratching our heads. In order to cause the combination of brightness seen by both Webb and Hubble, we need to have a combination of high quantities of very low-energy particles hitting the atmosphere, which was previously thought to be impossible. We still don’t understand how this happens.”</p>

1399. <p>The team now plans to study this discrepancy between the Hubble and Webb data and to explore the wider implications for Jupiter’s atmosphere and space environment. They also intend to follow up this research with more Webb observations, which they can compare with data from NASA’s <a href="https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/juno/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Juno spacecraft</a> to better explore the cause of the enigmatic bright emission.</p>

1401. <p>The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory. Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it.

More than 980 middle school, high school, and college students from across the nation launched more than 40 high-powered amateur rockets just north of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This year marked the 25th anniversary of the competition.</p>
1596.  
1597.  
1598.  
1599. <p>To compete, students follow the NASA engineering design lifecycle by going through a series of reviews for nine months leading up to launch day. Each year, a payload challenge is issued to the university teams, and this year’s task focused on communication. Teams were required to have “reports” from STEMnauts, non-living objects inside their rocket, that had to relay real-time data to the student team’s mission control. This Artemis Student Challenge took inspiration from the agency’s Artemis missions, where NASA will send astronauts to explore the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefit, and to build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.</p>

The event did not cause any catastrophic damages, but it did produce surprising effects on Earth. The storm, which has been called the best-documented geomagnetic storm in history, spread auroras to unusually low latitudes and produced effects spanning from the ground to near-Earth space. Data captured during this historic event will be analyzed for years to come, revealing new lessons about the nature of geomagnetic storms and how best to weather them.

1659. <p>One year ago today, representatives from NASA and about 30 other U.S. government agencies gathered for a special meeting to simulate and address a threat looming in space. The threat was not an asteroid or aliens, but our very own life-giving Sun.</p>
1660. <p>The inaugural <a href="https://www.jhuapl.edu/sites/default/files/2025-04/Space-Weather-TTX-Report-Summary-v3-FINAL.pdf" rel="noopener">Space Weather Tabletop Exercise</a> was supposed to be a training event, where experts could work through the real-time ramifications of a geomagnetic storm, a global disruption to Earth’s magnetic field. Driven by solar eruptions, geomagnetic storms can decimate satellites, overload electrical grids, and expose astronauts to dangerous radiation. Minimizing the impacts of such storms requires close coordination, and this meeting was their chance to practice.</p>
1661. <p>Then, their simulation turned into reality.</p>
1662. <p>“The plan was to run through a hypothetical scenario, finding where our existing processes worked and where they needed improvement,” said Jamie Favors, director of NASA’s Space Weather Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “But then our hypothetical scenario was interrupted by a very real one.”</p>
1663. <p>On May 10, 2024, the first G5 or “severe” geomagnetic storm in over two decades hit Earth. The event, named the Gannon storm in memory of leading space weather physicist Jennifer Gannon, did not cause any catastrophic damages. But a year on, key insights from the Gannon storm are helping us understand and prepare for future geomagnetic storms.</p>

1773. During the Gannon storm on May 10 and 11, 2024, many trans-Atlantic flights took more southerly routes across the ocean to avoid the risk of higher radiation for passengers and crew, as well as to avoid potential communication and navigation losses closer to the North Pole. The first image shows a snapshot of flight patterns on May 11, 2024, at 3:30 UTC (11:30 p.m. EDT on May 10) during the Gannon storm, when flights were redirected to more southern routes. The second image shows the flight patterns one week later, on May 18, 2024, at 3:30 UTC as flights followed their typical route. Credit: Flightradar24 </div>

1790. <p>In orbit, the expanded atmosphere increased drag on thousands of satellites.

Others, such as the European Space Agency’s<a href="https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Copernicus/The_Sentinel_missions" rel="noopener"> Sentinel</a> mission, required more power to maintain their orbits and perform maneuvers to avoid collisions with space debris.</p>
1791. <p>The storm also dramatically changed the structure of an atmospheric layer called the ionosphere. A dense zone of the ionosphere that normally covers the equator at night dipped toward the South Pole in a <a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2024GL110632" rel="noopener">check mark shape</a>, causing a temporary gap near the equator.</p>
1792. <p>The Gannon storm also rocked Earth’s magnetosphere, the magnetic bubble surrounding the planet.

These waves were perfectly sized to periodically dump extra magnetic energy and mass into the magnetosphere upon impact, creating the <a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024GL110477" rel="noopener">largest electrical current</a> seen in the magnetosphere in 20 years.</p>
1793. <p>Incoming energy and particles from the Sun also created <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/nasa-cubesat-finds-new-radiation-belts-after-may-2024-solar-storm/" rel="noopener">two new temporary belts</a> of energetic particles within the magnetosphere. Discovered by CIRBE, these belts formed between the Van Allen radiation belts that permanently surround Earth. The belt’s discovery is important to spacecraft and astronauts that can be imperiled by high-energy electrons and protons in the belts.</p>

Data captured during this historic event will be analyzed for years to come, revealing new lessons about the nature of geomagnetic storms and how best to weather them.</p>
