University of Helsinki team publishes Nature Astronomy study on Mercury solar impacts
1 Sep 19 · 5d ago · 1 article · 4 posts · 2 sources · development 1 of 1
Researchers led by Emilia Kilpua present findings showing how particles interact with Mercury's surface to generate X-rays, and how these observations help assess space weather risks to Earth's magnetosphere and infrastructure.
“Mercury's magnetic field is weaker than Earth's, and its magnetosphere is much smaller than Earth's. SIXS's observations help us assess how destructive particle radiation would penetrate Earth's near-space environment and atmosphere during the most powerful space storms.”
