How Auroras Form: Electrons Surf Electromagnetic Waves Toward Earth
Electrons can surf electromagnetic waves toward Earth, reaching speeds of up to 45 million miles per hour.
Physicists determine how auroras are created
Mystery solved: Jupiter's X-ray aurora explained. X-ray flares are triggered by periodic vibrations in Jupiter's magnetic field lines, which create waves of plasma that allow ions to “surf” down into the atmosphere
