Human activity reshapes Earth's radiation belts
<html>
<p>After many thousands years shaping Earth's landscapes, now humankind began to change space environment. NASA mission Van Allen Probe found, that human activity has changed form of Van Allen radiation belts - &nbsp;two extreme and dynamic regions of space that surround Earth .</p>

<p>Val Allen Belts &nbsp;- a toroid, with two main regions. Internal region is located at heights from 1 to 6 thousands kilometers from Earth's surface and consists, mainly, of protons (Blue area). &nbsp;External region (pink) consists of electrons and located at heights 13 - 60 thousands km.</p>

<p>Analysis of data, obtained by pair of Van Allen Probes, researchers found, that generated by Earth's radio transmitters radio waves of Low frequency and Very Low Frequency (VLF), directly shape radiation belt.&nbsp;</p>

<p>VLF type high power signals are used by military, mainly for communications with submarines. These signals form some kind of bubble, with external boundary coinciding with internal edge of radiation belt. In fact, these radiowaves push belt further from Earth.</p>

<p>Measurements show, that current internal edge of the belts is much further from the surface, than back in 1960th, which is direct result of VLT communications.</p>
<p>The last finding show, that technogenic activity is changing not only surface and climate, but space environment as well.</p>
<p>But VLT communications are not the only source of disturbance. In the beginning of 1960th, US tested nukes in the outer space. The most powerful was test of fusion bomb with power of 1.6 Megaton at the height of 400 kilometers above Johnston island in the Pacific.</p>

<p>In result of that explosion, artificial radiation belt has been formed, which destroyed seven satellites at low-height orbits - one third of all Earth's satellites on that time. Several manned missions from US and USSR had to take it into account when planning their paths. In general, consequences of that explosion were traced for several years.</p>

well the way i look at it NASA -- nazi amerikan scientists agency -- is lying about A LOT but they don't lie about everything...like i know they went to the moon its just the video they showed was probably like 5-10% of what is actually up there most of it was fake filmed by stanley.....
