Holes in Earth’s magnetic cloak let the sun in
Dec 17th
The Earth’s protective magnetosphere has two large holes that are letting in disruptive solar winds, scientists said on Tuesday.
Understanding how these holes form will help them better predict the electrical storms that cause power grid blackouts and the aurora, activity that will peak in 2012 as sunspots hit their maximum level.
Scientists at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco said they had been entirely wrong about how solar particles that cause the storms were entering the Earth’s magnetosphere.
The magnetosphere is a bubble of magnetism that surrounds Earth and protects us from solar wind.

Globalization
Oct 1st
