scientists have recently observed unexpected X- and C-shaped structures in Earth's ionosphere, the layer of electrified gas in the atmosphere that allows radio signals to travel over long distances. These observations were made by NASA's Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission¹². The ionosphere's density typically fluctuates due to solar radiation, solar storms, and volcanic eruptions. However, the recent discovery of these X- and C-shaped structures occurred during periods without such disturbances, which has puzzled researchers¹². Understanding these formations could help scientists learn more about the complex dynamics of Earth's atmosphere and its impact on communication systems¹². It's quite fascinating how much there is still to learn about our planet's atmosphere!
