Proof Discovered of Tidal Effect on the Plasmasphere

The characteristics of lunar tidal wave in the plasmapause. Credit: Nature Physics (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-022-01882-8A worldwide team of space scientists reports that the moon exerts a tidal effect on the plasmasphere. For their paper released in the journal Nature Physics, the group used information from multiple spacecraft over an almost 40-year period to gauge tidal perturbations...
