For decades, scientists theorised about Earth's ambipolar electric field, but it had never been directly measured... until now. NASA's Endurance mission has finally detected this elusive phenomenon for the first time, solving a 60-year-old mystery and proving this mysterious third energy field exists. The field works alongside gravity and magnetism as one of Earth's fundamental forces, launching particles into space and playing a crucial role in keeping Earth habitable - protecting its delicate balance and helping our planet avoid the same unfortunate fate as Venus.
