Humans Accidentally Created a Protective Bubble Around Earth May 18, 2017 3:59 pm BuckGalaxy

Now here is an extremely cool discovery!

A pair of NASA space probes have detected an artificial bubble around Earth that forms when radio communications from the ground interact with high-energy radiation particles in space, the agency announced this week. The bubble forms a protective barrier around Earth, shielding the planet from potentially dangerous space weather, like solar flares and other ejections from the sun.

So being a space exploration fan the next logical question for me is can future humans refine this VLF wave technology to create a protective bubble around Mars? How about even around the Jovian moons for protection against Jupiter’s intense radiation?
