Blast In Space Helped Solve Major Mystery
AP report from Blacksburg Virginia notes how a 1.4 megaton nuclear blast detonated above the Pacific Ocean created artificial radiation, aiding study of the Van Allen belt. Hess of Goddard Space Flight Center says rapid decay and energy particle patterns helped map radiation belts and determine their paths. The finding links the artificial belt to the natural Van Allen radiation regions and supports satellite design insights.
