Northern lights anywhere in the world!


Northern lights anywhere in the world!

Stanford university scientists are planning to develop and place in the space a particle accelerator that will make it possible to see the Northern lights anywhere.

Charged particles will be able to produce other atmospheric phenomenon: red sprites and blue jets. The invention will also help scientists to study the behavior of particles in the upper atmosphere and changes of magnetic field lines during strong geomagnetic activities. At the present time this project exists only in theory, but the majority of experts admit the possibility of its realization.
