van Allen belts and Magnetosphere (And instruments to research them)

[peadar1987]

I don't know how easily implementable this would be, but would it be possible to have "Biomes in space", so you could launch probes to investigate the van Allen belts and magnetosphere of various celestial bodies? Mainly for a "more science" sort of a vibe (the more experiments I can do, the happier I am!), but also for if life support is ever implemented, ensuring you don't put your Kerbals up for a prolonged stay in Jool's van Allen belts could be a cool feature. Maybe once you've sent a probe into the belts with the appropriate instrumentation, you could then toggle them as a feature on map view, like debris and flags.

KSP Interstellar has a really nice implementation of magnetospheres, and version 0.8 looks like it'll add radiation as well. I can't imagine most people would mind the science portion of it being implemented into stock, but I don't know if everyone would be happy if they added radiation effects.
