magnetotail

Earth's magnetotail is the primary source of the polar aurora.

The magnetotail continues up to ten radiuses from the planet.

The magnetic field lines in this region are believed to be open or to map onto the magnetotail.

The craft fully recovered within two days, with some data loss on Jupiter's magnetotail.

The structure of Jupiter's magnetotail is similar to Earth's.

During this phase the satellites' orbits are in apogee inside the magnetotail.

The magnetotail is the long point of the teardrop trailing out to more than 1 million miles on the night side of Earth.

Jupiter's magnetotail is long, but it is not infinite.

Finally, particle acceleration mechanisms associated with reconnection in the magnetotail are examined.

A brief section considers possible collisionless reconnection mechanisms in the magnetotail.

Study of orientation and flapping of magnetotail in anti-solar direction.

At some point, the gas planet's influence is no longer felt and the magnetotail tapers out, blending into the solar wind.

The magnetotail was shown to be twisted by the planet's rotation into a long corkscrew shape behind the planet.

"I believe our finding that magnetic reconnection occurs in the magnetotail would favor the aurora explanation."

The loss happens mainly via the magnetotail.

Obtain a unique perspective of radial magnetotail structure.

In this segment of the mission scientists will collect data from the magnetotail of the Earth's magnetosphere.

When the Moon passes through the magnetotail of the Earth, the plasma sheet whips across its surface.

Lighter gases, including water vapour, are continuously blown away by the solar wind through the induced magnetotail.

Opposite the compressed magnetic field is the magnetotail, where the magnetosphere extends far beyond the astronomical object.

This observational first provides further constraint to model this large-scale phenomenon in the magnetotail.

Cluster monitors particles from the ionosphere and the solar wind as they pass through the magnetotail lobes.

Uranus' tipped axis causes its magnetotail to corkscrew behind the planet, with no known analogue.

The regions studied included the magnetotail and the dawn and dusk sectors of the magnetosphere.

"Bubbles" of plasma that are thought to be formed from material ejected by the moon Io, were noticed in the magnetotail.
