The earth's magnetic field shields us by deflecting the solar
 wind: high energy particles emanating from the sun (mostly
protons and electrons). However, some become trapped by
the magnetic field in one of two doughnut or tire shaped
belts known as the Van Allen Belts. Two lower half tires and
two higher half tires.
      The lower belt ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 kilometers*
above the earth while the other belt is approximately 15,000
to 65,000. The inner belt has far more protons the electrons
and the highest density is around 3,500. The outer consisting
mostly of electrons is most dense at about 18,000.
      Satellites and spacecraft can't be placed in the two
densest regions. Objects placed outside of these regions still
need protection.
Urania; "I hate to be a name dropper but what in Hades is going
on at my comsat!?! I'm all about astronomy; the above is not
astronomy. It has a component that might interest Hermes and
should have been placed at www.quasarpolitics.blogspot.com .**
 Where is Eros? He likes to be mischievous. Did he do it?
What can I do about someone smuggling inappropriate material
to my comsat? Unconstitutional feel-ups and porno pics like the
 TSA!?!"
According to the Discovery Channel's "How the Universe Works -
Episode: The Birth of the Earth" (Urania: "Now that's more like
it.") supernova's are necessary for star formation. The shock
wave from a supernova striking a nebula will cause dense
 pockets to form and grow into stars. While PBS/CUNY's
"Astronomy (Urania: "that's what I'm about") - Episode: The Birth
of the Solar System" there weren't enough supernovas since
the first generation stars (the first stars in our Galaxy) to
explain all of the second and third generations. An additional
mechanism must be at work. (Urania: "I love it") Random
motion: Particles moving helter skelter occasionally become
close enough for electrostatic force to cause these few particles
to move together. Over a period on average of 80 million years.
electrostatic forces will cause these little packets to attract
other little packets - from a few particles to dust bunnies of
gas and dust to an object about ten miles across. Now,
gravity is strong enough to kick-in. On average, it will take
another 20 million years and a star is born!
      In both methods, a few particles clump and, eventually.
form stars via the process outlined.
Interstellar dust and gas is very tenuous - in some places
 nearly a vacuum and, in others, not much more. Nebulas
which can later be the nursery for many stars are more dense
 but not dense: if you took a mountain's worth of dust and gas
in a nebula...remember: an atom is mostly empty space, if a
proton were the size of a baseball, the nearest electron
would be about two floors up...removed the empty space in
the atoms, you would end up with a rock about the size of a
baseball!
*1 kilometer = .6 miles, sp 1.000 kilometers = 600 miles.
