Every planet with a magnetic field has a radiation belt, a region of space where charged particles get trapped and flung around at extraordinary speeds. Earth has two of them, and they've been puzzling scientists for decades. Now, a physicist at the University of Helsinki has built a model that defines a universal upper limit to just how energetic those belts can ever get.

We are living in unsettling times across the globe; times that seem to relentlessly shake our foundations and force our military-connected communities to brace themselves for one disruption after another.Our community has been hit particularly hard these past several months. We’ve seen life-altering ramifications from the government shutdown, constant leadership shifts and policy changes, furloughs, non-renewed government contracts affecting our Guard and Reserve Components, and the imminent deployments for every branch of service weigh heavily on our readiness. Also Read: Everything you need to know about a government shutdown before the next oneOur service members have been trained for these types of upheavals, but nothing can truly prepare their brave families (spouses, children, parents, siblings, and extended family) for what lies ahead, much less for navigating the unpredictability of tomorrow. And we highly recommend that no one should face this alone. We all could use battle buddies right about now.It is crucial for our communities to lean on, look to, and learn from shared knowledge and experience. Years of conflict have forced our national leaders and support organizations to look ahead, learn from the past, and move forward to research-based recommendations to get our military community from uncertainty to “we can do this, and this is how we’ll get there.” No single one of us has to do this alone, which is why we have assembled a variety of resources for you to use during these times of uncertainty.
