研究发现闪电的电磁波 可在地球内部辐射带触发电子淋浴 Lightning's electromagnetic waves can trigger electron showers in Earth's inner radiation belt, study finds.

新的研究表明,闪电产生的电磁波可在地球内部辐射带触发电子阵雨,这个区域以高能量颗粒环绕地球。 New research shows that electromagnetic waves from lightning can trigger electron showers in Earth's inner radiation belt, a region encircling the planet with high-energy particles. 这挑战了以前关于只有太阳活动才会影响腰带的想法,表明闪电也起着重要作用。 This challenges previous ideas that only solar activity affected the belt, suggesting lightning plays a significant role too. 了解这些相互作用对于设计更具弹性的航天器和保护宇航员不受有害微粒影响至关重要。 Understanding these interactions is crucial for designing more resilient spacecraft and protecting astronauts from harmful particles.
