 Copenhagen, Denmark (UPI) Mar 3, 2017  New research shows solar storms leave large portions of Earth's atmosphere without electrons.
Typically, when a solar storm reaches Earth, the collision with the planet's magnetosphere creates space through which a barrage of charged particles and electrons flood the ionosphere, an outer layer of Earth's atmosphere.
In other words, solar storms are most often associated with an e ... more Washington DC (SPX) Mar 01, 2017First Solar Images from NOAA's GOES-16 Satellite  Washington (UPI) Feb 25, 2017Rare 'Ring of Fire' eclipse to cross Southern Hemisphere  Tucson AZ (SPX) Feb 24, 2017NSF to Fund a Nationwide Effort to Capture the Eclipse |

As bumblebees forage for nectar from one flower to the next, at a certain point, they will move to another area once their search for food becomes too inefficient. This behavior, also observed among other animals, conforms to a prevalent model in biology called the "marginal value theorem."
