Interesting. But given the lack of magnetic field, how does the particles enter the atmosphere on the backside (night side) of the planet? On Earth it's easier

Interesting. But given the lack of magnetic field, how does the particles enter the atmosphere on the backside (night side) of the planet? On Earth it's easier to understand due to the magnetic field and that the polar regions also are very close to the day-side at all times.
