Even the most untouched corners of our planet aren't free from our impact. Scientists have found microscopic pieces of plastic in deep field camps in Antarctica - the first time they've been found in such remote locations. bas.ac.uk/media-post/microplastics-discovered-in-antarctica/ 📸Steve Gibbs

Here's the science (in brief): 🌀 High-energy electrons spiral in Earth’s magnetic field, aka ‘plasma instability’ ☢️ The spinning electrons emit radiation 🔊 Radiation is amplified by wave-particle interactions with other electrons, creating chorus waves... ... which sound like chirping birds! 🐦

British Antarctic Survey 🐧@bas.ac.uk · 2y ago

Have you heard there’s birdsong in space? 🐦 Chorus waves are electromagnetic bursts in space that sound like chirping birds (when converted to audio). First observed in the 1960s at Halley Research Station in Antarctica, they’ve recently been detected in an unexpected region of space!
