There are huge, invisible structures in the ionosphere that are high above the surface of the Earth. These structures are called equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs). These turbulent areas of low-density ...

Researchers in China have developed a way of locating giant "equatorial plasma bubbles" in the ionosphere by analyzing the ...

Map of Equatorial Plasma Bubble (EPB) events across the Earth. Most bubbles occur over the Atlantic in a region called the ‘South Atlantic Anomaly’. Here high energy particles and gamma rays ...

A huge bubble that resembles Swiss cheese has been captured surrounding the Earth in new images by scientists. The 1,000-light-year bubble, which is known as the "local bubble", is a hollow sphere ...

This bubble that circles the event horizon of Sgr A* takes just 70 minutes to whip around the black hole. It was observed by the Event Horizon Telescope.

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption last year was so powerful it created a "super plasma bubble" in the upper atmosphere over northern Australia, likely disrupting precise GPS for hours.

The bubbles, known as equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs), are found in the ionosphere — the region of the atmosphere over 30 miles (50 kilometers) above Earth's surface, where most of the gas has ...
