Confined to an area which is about 65 degrees from the celestial equator, the inner one of these phenomena was first confirmed by (*) Explorer I and contains much higher energy than the outer one.
Non-thermal radiation emissions from Jupiter are caused by electrons trapped in regions analogous to these. Tests like Hardtack Teak and Starfish Prime, which are high-altitude nuclear tests have created artificial versions of these regions. Confined to an area which is about 65 degrees from the celestial equator, the inner one of these phenomena was first confirmed by (*) Explorer I and contains much higher energy than the outer one. For 10 points, name these tori of highly energized particles or plasma which surround the earth and are named after an American astronomer.
