Earth’s magnetic field has a dent, and NASA is watching closely
3 days ago · Importance of Earth’s magnetic field. Earth’s magnetic field is like an invisible shield that surrounds our planet, generated by the movement of molten metal in Earth’s outer core. This movement creates electric currents, which in turn produce a magnetic field. The field has two main poles – north and south – just like a magnet, and ...
NASA’s LEXI Will Provide X-Ray Vision of Earth’s Magnetosphere
3 days ago · Once the dust clears from its lunar landing, LEXI will power on, warm up, and direct its focus back toward Earth. For six days, it will collect images of the X-rays emanating from the edges of our planet’s vast magnetosphere.This comprehensive view could illustrate how this protective boundary responds to space weather and other cosmic forces, as well as how it can open to allow streams of ...
