Tiny wisps of Earth air stretch way out into deep space, far beyond the moon’s orbit, a new study suggests.
Earth’s “geocorona” — a tenuous cloud of hydrogen atoms — extends up to 390,000 miles (630,000 kilometers) into space, according to the new research. For perspective: The moon orbits Earth at an average distance of 239,000 miles (384,600 km).
“The moon flies through Earth’s atmosphere,” study lead author Igor Baliukin, of Russia’s Space Research Institute, said in a statement. “We were not aware of it until we dusted off observations made over two decades ago by the SOHO spacecraft.” [Earth Quiz: Do You Really Know Your Planet?]
SOHO, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, is a joint European-NASA probe that launched in December 1995 to study the sun and space weather.
Baliukin and his team analyzed archival data gathered by SOHO’s Solar Wind Anisotropies instrument (SWAN) — specifically, measurements of a type of ultraviolet light called Lyman-alpha radiation. Sunlight interacts with geocorona hydrogen atoms at the Lyman-alpha wavelength, which is blocked by Earth’s atmosphere (and therefore must be observed from space).
This work allowed the team to map the geocorona’s extent and get a handle on the region’s density. They found that the geocorona is denser on Earth’s dayside, because of compression from solar radiation. But “denser” is a relative term: There are just 70 hydrogen atoms per cubic centimeter (0.06 cubic inches) at an altitude of 37,000 miles (60,000 km) on the day side and a mere 0.2 atoms per cubic centimeter at the moon's distance, the new study reported.
“On Earth, we would call it vacuum, so this extra source of hydrogen is not significant enough to facilitate space exploration,” Baliukin said. Read the remainder of the article here.
