By creatively using a radio telescope to see in 3D, astronomers have detected the existence of tubular plasma structures in the inner layers of the magnetosphere surrounding the Earth.

Chlorine- and bromine-containing ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) are

already achieved significant benefits for the ozone layer.
