You won't get a literal jolt from looking at Sunday's full moon—but you might if you were standing on it. When the moon is full, it develops a strong electric field near the surface as it swings through Earth's magnetic "tail," according to new observations from a Japanese probe.

Earth's magnetic field creates a protective bubble known as the magnetosphere, which surrounds the planet and shields us from solar wind—a rush of charged particles, or plasma, constantly streaming from the sun.

As the solar wind pushes on Earth's magnetic bubble, the planet's magnetosphere stretches, forming what's called the magnetotail. This tail reaches beyond the orbit of the moon, and it's always pointed away from the sun.

Meanwhile, we see a full moon when the lunar orb is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun—and therefore within the magnetotail.

There is a very big monthly problem with a moon base. grin

It's an EXCELLENT idea. Newt is just pandering. Has he explained how he would get gas prices down to $2.50 a gallon?

Oh, don't be silly. Gingrich's first plan is to build a Faraday cage around the entire moon, of course.

Helium 3 mining could make gasoline $1 per gallon.
