Magnetic Reconnection

February 25, 2015

From NASA:




Do you know what magnetic reconnection is? We didn't think so. Watch our Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission briefing live at 3 p.m. EST today on our upcoming mission to study magnetic reconnection around the Earth, a fundamental process that occurs throughout the universe where magnetic fields connect and disconnect explosively releasing energy.

Our MMS mission consists of four identical spacecraft that will provide the first three-dimensional view of magnetic reconnection. Launch is scheduled for 10:44 p.m. March 12, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
