Chinese radar detects ‘plasma bubbles’ above Giza Pyramids

Chinese researchers have identified equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) above the Giza Pyramids, a strange terrestrial phenomenon. EPBs are regions of the Earth’s ionosphere that form at low latitudes, due to the separation of regions of different densities, and their discovery is important for the telecommunications sector.

This discovery came in a study – Published in August in the scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters – It highlights that the discovery of the phenomenon in Egypt is not in fact a great discovery, but rather the fact that these bubbles were observed from Earth, as observation from space is common.

The bubbles in the pyramids were discovered by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who were able to observe them from a distance of 8,000 kilometers.

The radar used in the study was the Low Latitude Long Range Ionospheric Radar (LARID), which is capable of tracking these plasma bubbles in real time and was a major advance in the study of the ionosphere.

Identifying this phenomenon is particularly important because it can interfere with GPS signals and satellite communications.
