Why does a protective bubble around Earth matter?

Did you know that scientists discovered an artificial bubble around Earth that forms when radio communciations from the ground interact with high-energy radiation particles in space? The bubble forms a protective barrier barrier around Earth. This protects the planet from potentially dangerous space weather like solar flares and other ejections from the sun. To lear more about this recent discovery, check out this article.  

I invite you to share other interesting science based articles over the summer.  I will gladly orgaize a list of these resources and create strategies to use them in the classroom for science based instruction. 

Share your thoughts, resources, articles, and ideas. By August, we can create a living, valuable tool for educators! 

Sincerely, 
Kathy Tracey
