Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation of plasma wind collision (from top to bottom) with lunar crustal magnetic field (blue field lines), resulting in the formation of a miniature magnetosphere. This visualization illustrates the formation of a microscopic layer of electric field (thin red cloud) that arises from collective plasma effects, and which is responsible for shielding the lunar surface from the impinging plasma ions (represented by the scattered spheres). |
