Did you know that there are killer electrons in space? No need to panic though, here on the ground you are quite safe! The Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere shield us from them. But satellites in space and astronauts cannot say the same! In this episode Dr. Harriet George will explain all about these killer electrons trapped in a region in space called the Earth's radiation belts. Listen along to find out more! Dr. Harriet George recently completed her PhD at the University of Helsinki, where she studied the Earth's radiation belts. She is now working at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, Colorado, where she is researching plasma waves in near-Venus space. Follow Harriet in Twitter @HGeorgeSpace.
