Space Raindrops Splashing on Earth’s Magnetic Umbrella

by Laura Vuorinen, Adrian LaMoury, Emmanuel Masongsong and Heli Hietala 7 October 20227 October 2022

Though not as damaging as extreme space weather events, showers of plasma jets hit Earth’s magnetic shield every day—yet we’re only beginning to understand their effects.

The inside of the KamLAND antineutrino detector comprises a grid of tessellated segments, parallelograms and trapezoids, that fit together to form a sphere. Each segment of the detector, which is black, has 16 sensors, which are gold, arranged in a 4 by 4 pattern. Each segment is connected by a white border. At the center of the detector, and image, is a green circle.
