Abstract

Magnetic Reconnection Magnetic reconnection (MR) has been observed in the magnetospheres of planets with an intrinsic magnetic field, such as Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn. MR is a universal plasma process that occurs in regions of strong magnetic shear and converts magnetic energy into kinetic energy. On Earth, MR is responsible for magnetic storms and auroral events. Using data from the European Space Agency Venus Express spacecraft, Zhang et al. (p. 567 , published online 5 April; see the Perspective by

Slavin

) present surprising evidence for MR in the magnetosphere of Venus, which is a nonmagnetized body.
