- Observations made by the SOHO spacecraft over 20 years ago lead to a new discovery.
- The Earth has hydrogen envelope as part of its outer atmosphere called the geocorona.
- The geocorona stretches well past the moon, reveals a study.
We are more linked to the moon than we’ve realized.
It turns out that the outer part of the Earth’s atmosphere stretches considerably past the lunar orbit. In fact, it goes as far as twice the distance to the Moon.This discovery is a product of observations by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) – a spacecraft launched in 1995 to study the sun, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA.
Measurements taken over 20 years ago by SOHO got a fresh look in a new study, which came to remarkable conclusions. What the data showed is that the geocorona, a hydrogen envelope which wraps around our planet,…
