NOAA Model of Earth's Magnetosphere The Magnetospheric Specification Model provides a snapshot of the radiation belts in May 1998. Colors indicate levels of energetic electron radiation (low levels = black; high levels = red/white). The white satellites in geosynchronous orbit are moving into and out of the high-radiation regions as they orbit earth. Courtesy of Terrance Onsager/NOAA |
