英文摘要 | We present observations of the Moon’s plasma interaction in Earth’s magnetotail lobes by the ARTEMIS mission, and compare these to hybrid model results to constrain the global properties of the lunar electromagnetic environment. We identify, for the first time in the magnetotail lobes, a low‐energy wake extending multiple lunar radii downstream of the Moon along the ambient flow direction. This wake is tilted out of the lunar optical shadow, allowing for detection of the otherwise unobservable cold ambient magnetospheric plasma. Similar eclipse encounters may provide additional opportunities to measure this low‐energy plasma potentially originating from the terrestrial ionosphere. We find lunar ionospheric outflow extending multiple Moon radii downstream, that generates asymmetries in the Moon’s plasma environment and shares characteristics with the plasma interactions of Rhea, Tethys, and Dione. The extensive ARTEMIS data set may therefore provide additional insights into the plasma environments near moons of the outer solar system. |
