From original article: At the same time, three of NASAs THEMIS spacecraftMovie Camera, which are designed to study solar storms, crossed through the magnetic boundary during the event. The craft saw a 100-fold increase in the number of electrons at the boundary, which would probably have been deposited by the plume. For the first time, we were able to monitor the entire cycle of this plasma stretching from the atmosphere to the boundary between Earths magnetic field and the suns, says Walsh. It gets to that boundary and helps protect us, keeps these solar storms from slamming into us. Tree Newby
