Atmosphere Reaches New Limits

A team of astronomers has discovered, the Earth’s atmosphere extends beyond the Moon! Previously, it was believed the geocorona, which is too thin to easily measure, ended around 124,000 miles from Earth. The Moon averages about 240,000 miles away. The new data shows, the atmosphere reaches out 391,000 miles. That means humans have never left Earth’s atmosphere!
