After only a few months in orbit, the four spacecraft of the
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission flew through a region of
space where reconnection takes place and measured — for the first time — the movement of the electrons thought to be responsible for the phenomenon.
Since the Hermean magnetosphere occupies a unique position in the
space plasma physics scenarios, the study of Mercury's
magnetospheric processes will not only provide a clear picture of the planetary magnetosphere itself but it will also broaden our field of view of
space plasma physics, in general.
