In the News: NASA's Magnetospheric Mission

In the News this morning:

"NASA's Magnetospheric Mission Passes Major Milestone"
http://www.physorg.com/news203001491.html

Quote:
The universe is still an arcane place that scientists know very little about, but a new NASA Solar Terrestrial Probe mission is going to shed light on one especially mysterious event called magnetic reconnection. It occurs when magnetic lines of force cross, cancel, and reconnect releasing magnetic energy in the form of heat and charged-particle kinetic energy.
There seems to be a fair amount of investment in investigating Solar Electromagnetic influences?
This one is in addition to the PEACE mission 10 year anniversary which I posted on the 2nd Sept ..
