Basically, Sun is constantly emitting charged particles orionized particlestowards Earth.
Earths protective magnetosphere further comprises ofionosphereandplasmasphere.
The innermost being ionosphere and the layer above that is plasmasphere.
So we need to understand them.
However, during this research the situation was entirely different as the astronomers were looking close to Earth.
This is around where the neutral atmosphere ends, and we are transitioning to the plasma of outer space.
We can detect lightning from another hemisphere and people concluded there must be plasma tubes guiding the signal.
Its a very indirect conclusion, and no one had much idea what these tubes were like.
Loi has mentioned that it was amazing to visualize the giant plasma tubes using MWAs enormous 30 field.
