[quote]What Shields The Earth? The Earth's space storm shield is a tenuous layer of the outer atmosphere (outer ionosphere) between 180-620 miles (300-1,000 kilometers) high that includes electrically charged atoms. "Just as a heat shield sacrifices itself by allowing its outer layers to slough off during the fiery reentry of a spacecraft, Earth's shield absorbs space storm energy by throwing some of its charged particles into space," said Stephen Fuselier of the Lockheed-Martin Advanced Technology Center, Palo Alto, Calif., who is lead author of the first of two papers on this discovery to be published in the Journal of Geophysical Research. http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/topstory/20020509imagessu.html[/quote]
