To assess damage caused to the ozone layer by charged particles in space that surround the Earth, an international team of researchers from Japan, the United States, and Canada studied a type of aurora called an “isolated proton aurora.” They found more damage than predicted by simulations, suggesting a new factor to consider when assessing damage to the ozone layer.
