The tail, which streams from Earth towards the Sun, was spotted
by NASA's Imager for Magnetopause to Aurora Global Exploration
(IMAGE) spacecraft and is featured on the cover of the Jan. 26
issue of the journal Science. The new imaging technology offers
unprecedented views of the transparent, electrified gas trapped
within Earth's magnetic field, providing the first visual,
global perspective on magnetic storms.
