The discovery of the belts is credited to James Van Allen, and as a result the Earth's belts are known as the "'Van Allen belts " '.

As the geomagnetic field continues to weaken, the inner Van Allen belt gets closer to the Earth, with a commensurate enlargement of the SAA at given altitudes.
35.
Because of its elliptical orbit, the spacecraft spent part of each day in the Van Allen belts, during which time science observations suffered from higher background noise.
36.
More powerful ground-launched rockets later placed in orbit the satellites that discovered major concentrations of radiation much higher above the earth that became known as the Van Allen Belts.
37.
Two other famous places which have been found to have similar high magnetic field ( Van Allen Belt ) are Machu Picchu in Peru and Stone Henge in England.
38.
The satellite carried seven instruments to detect high energy cosmic rays, determine the total flux of solar X-rays, and measure trapped radiation, Van Allen belt protons and cosmic ray protons.
39.
Scientists also don't know what impact long exposure to radiation _ especially outside the so-called Van Allen belts, which protect the Earth from space radiation _ will have on astronauts.

The images come at you in a rush _ Dean Martin, Sputnik, Thomas Edison, Wilhelm Reich, the Zapatistas, the Van Allen Belt _ and the voice-over races along with them.
