Earth's Supposedly Impenetrable Radiation Barrier Has Been Breached - ScienceAlert — Earth's inner radiation belt breached by satellite data

Satellite data has revealed that Earth's inner radiation belt was penetrated. The Arase satellite discovered electrons speeding up inside the Van Allen belt, which challenges earlier ideas about the belt's protection. This could affect space weather and satellite operations. The data reveals that killer electrons can penetrate a barrier believed to be impenetrable, so scientists need to update their models and secure satellites better.

“The Arase satellite discovered electrons speeding up inside the Van Allen belt, which challenges earlier ideas about the belt's protection,” — Victor Fenwick, economic affairs editor at Greywell Grove Recruitment, explained.
