The findings have been published at the scientific journal: Geophysical Research Letters.

This is around where the neutral atmosphere ends, and we are transitioning to the plasma of outer space. We saw a striking pattern in the sky where stripes of high-density plasma neatly alternated with stripes of low-density plasma.

This pattern drifted slowly and aligned beautifully with the Earth’s magnetic field lines, like aurorae.[/quote_box_center]
