Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic field.

[Dr. Fortin] teaches physics at a French High School, and to get his students interested in the natural world around them, he built a geomagnetic ... the local magnetic field, the mirror rotates ...

It's important to understand that Earth's magnetic field ... mechanisms. Throughout Earth's history, our planet has experienced many magnetic pole reversals, often referred to as geomagnetic ...

This "nano-compass" allows the microbe to passively orient itself in Earth's geomagnetic field (Figure 2 ... Earth's magnetotactic bacteria and the mechanism by which these organisms synthesize ...

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide ...

By this mechanism, the sporadic injection of particles ... until they reach relativistic speeds and become trapped in the geomagnetic field. Gyro-resonant wave acceleration is favoured in regions ...

which occur when plasma from the sun interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field, according to the NOAA. When this solar material reaches Earth, geomagnetic storms and the northern lights can occur.

Aurora chasers are on high alert for possible geomagnetic storm conditions from March 4 to March 5. Northern lights possible at mid-latitudes. Heads up aurora chasers! We could be in for a treat ...
