Scientists Discover Cloak of Plasma Around Earth

Hope I've put this in the right forum:

There is much that we don’t know about our own planet and our atmosphere. Scientists strive to learn more as a way to not only understand our own planet, but to be able to apply this understanding to planets outside our solar system in a search for life.

(They don't try too hard, or they'd be wondering how ions and stuff get moved about in a magnetic field)

.....
The new region was discovered after Chappell and other researchers pieced together what they call a "natural cycle of energization" that accelerates low-energy ions in the Earth's atmosphere into the higher energy levels found in regions of the magnetosphere.

The warm plasma cloak starts on the night side of the planet and wraps around the dayside according to the researchers. As the cloak reaches the afternoon side of the planet, it gradually fades away. Due to that fact the cloak only surrounds about 3/4 of the planet.

The cloak is fed by the low-energy particles lifted into space over the Earth's poles, carried behind the Earth on its magnetic tail, and then turned 180 degrees by a kink in the magnetic field. The particles are then boosted back towards the Earth into the region called the plasma sheet.

tut tut, all this energy what could it be ....?

- " a warm plasma cloak"- sounds downright sinister. Wrapping itself around earth. When I got to the bit about "the afternoon" side of the planet, all I could think of was the long dark tea time of the soul ....

NASA is better at this game. Forget cloak, Octopus attack!

NASA, Dec.16,08: A Giant Breach in Earth's Magnetic Field

The event began with little warning when a gentle gust of solar wind delivered a bundle of magnetic fields from the Sun to Earth. Like an octopus wrapping its tentacles around a big clam, solar magnetic fields draped themselves around the magnetosphere and cracked it open. The cracking was accomplished by means of a process called "magnetic reconnection."

Someone pick me up off the floor...

So, that was the crash . I heard it all the way up here in Northern California .

Magnetic fields, as far as I know, can't exist disembodied by themselves. Must have been CME.

CMEs, as far as I know, can't 'freeze' magnetic fields into themselves. The plasma is NOT a permanent magnet. A current is required to sustain magnetic fields in plasma. 'Magnetic reconnection' is nothing more than the observation of magnetic field topology changes RESULTING FROM CHANGES IN UNDERLYING CURRENTS.

Dare I use the terms Langmuir sheath, plasma sheath and/or double layer? May or may not be applicable in this case. However, a Langmuir/plasma sheath is expected under the EU model.

If there relay was a bundle of magnetic fields, wouldn't that mean a flow of charge? Wouldn't charge flow need a circuit? As far as I know this is the case with magnetic fields in space. I wonder did the sun emit a spinning plasma cloud?

I really hate the term "bundle of magnetic fields." As far as I understand it, my understanding being neither perfect nor complete, magnetic fields are basically the attraction or repulsion between electric currents. Take away the current structure and the magnetic field disappears (except in the case of permanent magnets where the magnetic moments of the constituent materials get aligned and locked in place, more-or-less; though the magnetic moment of the atoms is basically due to the motion of the charge carriers in the nucleus, again, if I understand correctly). So, what they're really saying in a backwardly roundabout way is that a transfer of charges (electric current?) coincided with observable magnetic fields. Seems to me they're saying they saw currents, without expressly saying "current." Though NASA's old THEMIS press release from way back (Dec '07, I think?) made the link pretty blatantly clear (in the associated multimedia, NOT the main article for some reason).

650,000 Amp current flows along magnetic flux rope into the arctic, powering the northern lights.

Per your other question, a charge flow doesn't necessarily need a circuit, I think? Electrostatic discharges, often used erroneously to discredit the electric star hypothesis, may entail charges moving from regions of high concentratin to regions of low concentration and then stopping once charges are balanced. Electrodynamic discharge, or ongoing discharges generally require circuits and power sources. IE, in order to continue, there must be some kind of power source continuously adding energy to the system, or else things would go back to equilibrium and the discharge would stop. I think?

Please correct me if I'm incorrect.

I glad to try to help us all understand that Aether is a Rotating Magnetic Field of a quantum spin of 2.
They (the crazy scientist) think that the graviton would be a 2 spin quantum unit.
The field is never explained.
They have spooky action at a distance.
When people speak of Aether, Fields, Mass, Dimensions (ask a string theorist to name those 12 dimensions) they have very little true understanding. Its really quite simple. Aether being a RMF is the source from which Matter aquires the magnetic effect. The field is that which donates to angular momentum (as thats how they quantify an electron) the attributes of Electrostatic Distributed Charge and EM Charge. Electromagnetism is the actual force that keeps the nucleus together. The mass to strong charge ratio is proportional. The ES charge is the same for all three atomic units. Charge Geometry is a result of Coulombs constant. All EM effects are actually ES. EM is responsible for the Casimir effect and being a tiny magnet, has both a north and south pole and therefore can be both repulsive and attractive. The virtual photon of the Casimir effect is actually a real photon that is created via the tension between the two charged plates. This is one of the two ways that the Strong Charge can produce matter. The other is known as fusion. Both are Strong Charge effects and account for the creation of galaxies from a mother galaxie as described by Arp and due to the repulsive ability account for the expansion of the universe.

The RMF is the technology of Tesla. I am quite certain that a relativistic Birkeland current, say with a Mercury Vapour (which is magnetic) can produce antigravity with extremely high voltage and frequency.
