For this theory to work, the beams released by black holes would have to have strong, self - generated magnetic fields and the rotation of particles around the fields would then give off powerful bursts of gamma ray radiation.
On Earth, a strong magnetic field and a thick atmosphere help protect life from radiation blazing from the sun and the rest of the universe.
But the solidification of Earth's core about 500 million years ago created a stronger magnetic field just about the same time the sun started dialing down its barrage of radiation, scientists reported recently in Geoscience Frontiers.
This model describes three types of forces: electromagnetic interactions, which cause all phenomena associated with electric and magnetic fields and the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation; strong interactions, which bind atomic nuclei; and the weak nuclear force, which governs beta decay — a form of natural radioactivity — and hydrogen fusion, the source of the sun's energy.
The gauntlet Juno ran at Jupiter held many chances for catastrophe: The spacecraft might have been knocked out by intense magnetic fields (at that distance, 20 times stronger than Earth's), ionizing radiation (a total dose of 265 rads — more than enough to kill a human being), dust particles from Jupiter's rings (from which the main engine was completely unshielded) or loss of power if the solar arrays were unable to reorient to the sun.
«It seems we have strong reason to conclude that light itself (including radiant heat, and other radiations if any) is an electromagnetic disturbance in the form of waves propagated through the electromagnetic field,» he wrote in 1864.
The peroxide is created by the intense radiation processing of Europa's surface ice that comes from the moon's location within Jupiter's strong magnetic field.
The influence from direct radiation would be similar, but the planets with a strong magnetic field would react much differently to charge particles than a planet like Mars with a weaker field.
With very strong magnetic fields and very fast rotations, some neutron stars blast beams of electromagnetic radiation from their poles, and if Earth is in the path of those beams we can detect the signals as regular «pulses» — hence the name pulsars.
Such proximity introduces hazards that are of negligible importance for life on Earth: increased exposure to (time - varying) short wavelength radiation, stronger magnetic fields, tidal effects, and atmospheric removal by the stellar wind.
The influence from direct radiation would be similar, but the planets with a strong magnetic field would react much differently to charge particles than a planet like Mars with a weaker field.
