High-energy

Chandra records observations of the universe in the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Chandra's extraordinary capabilities make it possible for scientists to study such high-energy objects as supernovae and black holes in greater detail.

Interplanetary space is hardly tranquil. High-energy charged particles from the Sun, as well as from beyond our solar system, constantly whizz by. These can damage satellites and endanger astronaut health.

Earth’s magnetic environment traps electrons and ions in concentric belts encircling the planet. These belts, called the Van Allen Radiation Belts, keep most of the high-energy particles at bay.

Magnetospheres — the magnetic fields around most planets — exist throughout our solar system. They deflect high-energy, charged particles called cosmic rays that are spewed out by the Sun or come from interstellar space.

Mennad is a high-energy person.

Alejandro Corrales Félix makes quick, high-energy Spanish-language videos on Social Media about life in San Pedro de la Cueva, Sonora, Mexico.

Dwyer says that while the phenomenon is quite different from what we see flashing brightly in the sky during a thunderstorm, the two types of high-energy events can be produced by the same storms, but in different ways.

Scientists created an audio track of Earth’s magnetic fields interacting with a barrage of high-energy particles from the Sun by taking magnetic wave data gathered by the European Space Agency’s CLUSTER mission and transforming them into audible sounds.
