NASA Spacecraft Discovers New Magnetic Process in Turbulent Space

Though close to home, the space immediately around Earth is full of hidden secrets and invisible processes. In a new discovery reported in the journal Nature, scientists working with NASAs Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft MMS have uncovered a new type of magnetic event in our nearEarth environment by using an innovative technique to squeeze extra information out of the data. Magnetic reconnection is one of the most important processes in the space filled with charged particles known as plasma
