View full credits

This visualization presents a wide-angle overview of the plasmapause-Earth system. Electron content data is mapped to the sphere of the Earth. As the space storm progresses, the structure of the plasmapause becomes distorted but is still constrained by the structure of the Earth's dipolar magnetic field.
