What is "magnetospheres"

Usage examples of "magnetospheres".

Through the pall of dust and smoke, the comet loomed with the appearance of a monstrous dragon spitting fire in the form of electrical discharges between its head and writhing coma arms of charged plasma, and then down upon the surface of the Earth itself as the magnetospheres of the two bodies met.

They were totally reliant on the vast magnetospheres of such worlds for power.

On its way from Earth to Venus, it discovered and measured the solar wind—the stream of charged particles that flows outward from the Sun, filling the magnetospheres of any planets in its way, blowing back the tails of comets, and establishing the distant heliopause.

But far more important, it's likely that only planets with strong magnetospheres can support We.
