In January 1968, Pioneer 8 passed through the extended geomagnetic tail region at 470–580 R E . The magnetic field observations suggest detection of the geomagnetic tail; the observations are similar in characteristics to those observed by Pioneer 7 at 1000 R E , but they indicate a higher percentage of time was spent in the region of an extended, aberrated tail.
