first glimpse of the solar wind as it buffets the bubble of diffuse ionised gas

Empire State Building is tall, uses radio pulses to image the plasmasphere. Its
pictures, the first of which were released last week, will let researchers watch
magnetic storms and the aurora borealis from space. 鈥淚t will revolutionise our
study of the magnetosphere,鈥� says principal investigator James Burch.
