Remember the big solar storm in May? Scientists have just discovered that, in addition to creating spellbinding auroras, the storm also made a new temporary ring of charged, high-energy particles encircling Earth.

Earth is typically surrounded two of these giant, donut-shaped rings of particles called the Van Allen Belts. But during especially large solar storms, a temporary third Belt can form sandwiched between the two permanent ones.

The new Belt, which was discovered by NASA’s Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE) CubeSat, could last months to years. Scientists are studying the data to better understand the Belt and how long it might stick around. Stay tuned for their findings!
