Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, NASA claims. However, when intense ...
Earth’s Magnetic Field Might Weirdly Be Controlling the Air We Breathe, Scientists Say Magnetism and oxygen may intrinsically influence each other, but experts aren’t sure why.
The strength of Earth’s magnetic field and the amount of oxygen in its atmosphere seem to be correlated—and scientists want ...
Scientists measure the strength of these storms by how much Earth’s magnetic field is deformed. It’s based on the speed of the solar wind, the size of the solar storm and the amount of ...
At its peak around 40,977 years ago, Earth’s protective magnetic bubble shrank dramatically – from its normal extent of 8-11 Earth radii (51,000-70,000 km) to just 2.43 Earth radii (15,498 km).
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Earth’s Northern Lights typically dance near the poles, but 41,000 years ago, they lit up skies over North Africa and Australia. New research reveals how dramatically Earth’s ...
