NASA discovers mysterious X-shaped structures in Earth’s upper atmosphere

NASA's GOLD mission made a surprising discovery. It observed X-shaped patterns in the ionosphere. These patterns occurred even during calm space weather. Previously, scientists thought they only happened during solar storms. The finding changes our understanding of the upper atmosphere. It also affects satellite communications and GPS signals. Scientists are now investigating the causes of these unexpected X-shapes.
