[QUOTE="spiney, post: 245827, member: 192438"] Best known as the discoverer of deadly radiation belts surrounding the earth, detected via instruments on some of the first artificial satellites. The ionosphere was well known, but the Van Allen belts were a surprise. They are supposedly one reason - say conspiracy nutters - why we never went to the moon.
