New source of energy
by Daniela Simkova


All of us are worried of running down all our sources produced on the Earth. We exhaust the sources by wanting to have a higher comfort in our houses, or in our lives. The problem, which is getting bigger is the question "How can we produce more energy?" The scientists have discovered a new source of energy coming form the amazing color projection of the northern light, which is accompanied by a geomagnetic storm. "Nature was very kind to us," said Vassilis Angelopoulos, the principal investigator of the University of California in Los Angeles. NASA launched five satellites this winter, that recognized the energy coming from a stream of charged particles. Mr. Angelopoulos said that the energy is released as a shiny flow of light, which we can see in the upper latitude of the Northern Hemisphere. New data from the NASA's Themis mission, the name given to the launched satellites, shows presence during aurora borealis, a northern light, is particle flow and magnetic fields from the space. Satellites noticed this incredible appearance in March 2007. The scientists assumed that there is some existence of magnetic fields, which provide enough energy for the aurora borealis, but these were just a cogitations until the May, when the satellites first measured their structure of about 40,000 miles over the Earth's surface. Scientists hope that satellites will record another geomagnetic storm, which could help to figure out how it works with the northern light and how we could use this energy in our benefit.
