THEMIS in the Magnetosphere

Illustraton of the THEMIS spacecraft in orbit in Earth's magnetic field.
Over six years in space, five spacecraft from the THEMIS mission have helped map out this area and improve our ability to predict dynamic space weather events – events that at their worst can impact satellites in space.

Earth is surrounded by a giant magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere.
