Summary

The Earth's plasma fountain, showing oxygen, helium, and hydrogen ions that gush into space from regions near the Earth's poles. The faint yellow gas shown above the north pole represents gas lost from Earth into space; the green gas is the aurora borealis-or plasma energy pouring back into the atmosphere. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/istp/news/9812/solar1.html">Source</a>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/istp/news/9812/solarwind.html">More</a>
