Satellite data shows that Earth's inner radiation belt was penetrated. The Arase satellite discovered electrons accelerating inside the Van Allen belt, which contradicts earlier ideas about the belt's protection. This could affect space weather and satellite operations. The data indicates that killer electrons can surpass a barrier believed to be impenetrable, so scientists need to update their models and protect satellites better.
