Hazardous and super-fast electron rain found by UCLA scientists

UCLA scientists have discovered a new source of super-fast, energetic electrons raining down on Earth, a phenomenon that contributes to the aurora borealis but also poses hazards to satellites, spacecraft, and astronauts. The scientists determined that the sudden downpour was caused by whistler waves.
