The researchers propose a different explanation for the current theory, suggesting that nitrogen molecular ions might be accelerated into the magnetosphere through an unknown process.

A magnetosphere is the region around a planet where its magnetic field is dominant, protecting the planet from the Sun’s destructive particles.

Combined with flares, they can create solar storms that interact with Earth's magnetic field or magnetosphere.

The study provides an initial assessment of sensitivity for satellite-based detectors in low Earth orbit and ongoing missions within Jupiter's magnetosphere.

As the field lines snapped back into more stable configurations, huge amounts of energy poured into Earth’s magnetosphere, in a disturbance known as a geomagnetic storm.
