Scientists identify unprecedented ionosphere disturbance from burst

2 Sep 20 · 3d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 2 of 3

Research team detected strong signal in Earth's ionosphere from the burst, including electric field variations in the uppermost ionosphere layer. The disturbance, originating from an event 2 billion years ago, left an imprint comparable to a major solar flare despite the vast distance.
