NASA Rocket Confirms Existence of Earth’s Hidden Electric Field
This electric field lifts the charged particles in Earth’s upper atmosphere “to greater heights than they would otherwise reach,” NASA said.

Scientists had theorized this electric field began at around 250 kilometers high.

This is where atoms in our atmosphere break apart into negatively charged electrons and positively charged ions.

This activity helps form a part of Earth’s atmosphere known as the ionosphere.

NASA said studying the ambipolar electric field is important because it “may have shaped our planet’s evolution in ways yet to be explored.”

In addition, the agency said further study of this field can help scientists better understand other planets and possibly find ones with conditions that may support

life. Leader Collinson said that, during the mission, the instrument on the rocket was able to measure an electrical voltage of 0.55 volts.

He said this level is very low, about the same voltage used to power a watch battery

But, he noted that 0.55 volts was “just the right amount” to explain the outflows of particles driving the polar wind.

Collinson said he finds the results “incredibly important” because the newly confirmed electric field can counter the effects of gravity and “basically lifts the skies up.”

He described the field as a kind of conveyor belt that’s lifting this atmosphere up into space.”

Alex Glocer is a project scientist for the Endurance mission and was a co-writer of the study. He said he agrees with those findings.

“That’s more than enough to counter gravity in fact, it’s enough to launch them upwards into space at supersonic speeds,” Glocer said.

Supersonic describes speeds that are greater than the speed of sound.

Now that we’ve finally measured it, we can begin learning how it’s shaped our planet as well as others over time.” I’m Bryan Lynn.
