Russell-McPherron Effect: Why "Cracks" In Earth's Magnetic Field Mean We Get Peak Auroras At Equinox
Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...
