| Formation of unusual ring of radiation around Earth explained Posted: 22 Sep 2013 12:51 PM PDT Since the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts, scientists believed these belts consisted of two rings of highly charged particles.

Space scientists have successfully modeled and explained the unprecedented behavior of this third ring, and show that its energetic particles are driven by very different physics than the others.  |
