Izingosi zikazibuthe phakathi koMhlaba neLanga zitholakele.

UJack Scudder, umcwaningi waseNyuvesi yase-Iowa ofunda ngozibuthe weplanethi ngaphansi kwe-NASA, uthole indlela yokubona "izingosi" kazibuthe - izindawo lapho insimu Yomhlaba ihlangana neLanga.

Ososayensi bawabiza ngokuthi "amaphoyinti angu-X". Atholakala endaweni engamakhilomitha ayizinkulungwane ezimbalwa ukusuka eMhlabeni. "Bavula" futhi "bavale" izikhathi eziningi ngosuku. Ngesikhathi sokutholakala, ukugeleza kwezinhlayiya ezivela eLangeni kugijimela ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa ezingqimbeni ezingaphezulu zomkhathi womhlaba, ukuwushisa, okubangela iziphepho kazibuthe nama-auroras.

I-NASA ihlela umkhankaso oqanjwe ngekhodi we-MMS (Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission) ukuze itadishe lesi sigameko. Lokhu ngeke kube lula, ngoba "izingosi" kazibuthe azibonakali futhi ngokuvamile zihlala isikhathi esifushane.

Nakhu ukubonwa kwalesi simo:
