Goddard Glossary: Electromagnetic Interference

Ever wonder what happens when you're listening to your favorite radio station it suddenly gets all fuzzy and you lose bits of a song? Blame electromagnetic interference! Here at NASA, we sometimes have that problem too.

For Goddard Glossary, we're taking a look at electromagnetic interference.
