This educational brief describes the structure of Earth's magnetosphere, how it interacts with energetic particles emitted by the sun, and how it protects Earth from the effects of these particles. Short descriptions of NASA missions to study the magnetosphere, solar wind, and other particle emissions are included.

brief
explains
the
idea
that
nuclear
fusion
is
thought
to
be
the
mechanism
by
which
virtually
all
of
the
elements
around
us
are
created.
Topics
include
the
proton-proton
cycle,
the
carbon-nitrogen-oxygen
cycle,
and
endothermic
reactions
in
supernova
explosions.
There
is
also
a

curriculum:
the
motion
of
the
Earth
in
space,
and
Newtonian
mechanics.
Teachers
may

This press release examines evidence of a possible new triggering mechanism for coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun. Scientists using data from the Yohkoh and SOHO satellites noticed that interconnecting X-ray loops, as they disappeared, were followed by looplike CMEs that erupted off to one side.
