Astronomers detect traveling Ionospheric disturbances using the GMRT. 20/10/2023

The ionosphere is a part of the upper atmosphere of the Earth, lying between 80 and 600 km. It gets its name from the fact that the solar extreme ultraviolet and X-rays ionise the atoms and molecules present at these heights leading to a layer which has ions and electrons. Though it sits far above the clouds, it plays a surprisingly important role in our daily lives.
