Electrostatic phenomena on planetary surfaces /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Electrostatic phenomena, ubiquitous on Earth, also occur on many planetary bodies of the solar system. This book describes what is known about the electrostatic environment on and near the different planetary surfaces in the solar system based on experiments on Earth, as well as what is being learne...
