Abstract
- The article reports that scientists investigating the Van Allen radiation belts revealed unexpected findings 96 days after launching two space probes and only 30 days after they became fully operational. According to the author, mission scientists at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union found that the belts are far more active and potentially dangerous than had been previously known.
