Giant Breach in Earths Magnetic Field Discovered
Posted by crisisjones ⋅ May 1, 2011 ⋅ 1 Comment
What happened to conventional wisdom? Researchers at the University of New Hampshire are using computer models to unravel the basic physics of the great breach. Theyre finding that reconnection at the poles is key. Conventional wisdom held that equatorial reconnection was more important, which is why the giant breaches were not anticipated until THEMIS flew through one.
Dec. 16, 2008: NASAs five THEMIS spacecraft have discovered a breach in Earths magnetic field ten times larger than anything previously thought to exist. Solar wind can flow in through the opening to load up the magnetosphere for powerful geomagnetic storms. But the breach itself is not the biggest surprise. Researchers are even more amazed at the strange and unexpected way it forms, overturning long-held ideas of space physics.
At first I didnt believe it, says THEMIS project scientist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. This finding fundamentally alters our understanding of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction.
The magnetosphere is a bubble of magnetism that surrounds Earth and protects us from solar wind. Exploring the bubble is a key goal of the THEMIS mission, launched in February 2007. The big discovery came on June 3, 2007, when the five probes serendipitously flew through the breach just as it was opening. Onboard sensors recorded a torrent of solar wind particles streaming into the magnetosphere, signaling an event of unexpected size and importance.
The opening was hugefour times wider than Earth itself, says Wenhui Li, a space physicist at the University of New Hampshire who has been analyzing the data. Lis colleague Jimmy Raeder, also of New Hampshire, says 1027 particles per second were flowing into the magnetospherethats a 1 followed by 27 zeros. This kind of influx is an order of magnitude greater than what we thought was possible.
The event began with little warning when a gentle gust of solar wind delivered a bundle of magnetic fields from the Sun to Earth. Like an octopus wrapping its tentacles around a big clam, solar magnetic fields draped themselves around the magnetosphere and cracked it open. The cracking was accomplished by means of a process called magnetic reconnection. High above Earths poles, solar and terrestrial magnetic fields linked up (reconnected) to form conduits for solar wind. Conduits over the Arctic and Antarctic quickly expanded; within minutes they overlapped over Earths equator to create the biggest magnetic breach ever recorded by Earth-orbiting spacecraft.
Maybe there is something coming our way and if there is whats it really going to be like if the oceans stand up and slosh around the planet.
Some blame commit ELENIN on this some say its a brown dwarf and thats why we cant see it, it does not emit light or reflect it. I dont know I do know the earth quakes and volcanoes all over the planet are not normal no mater what the skeptics say.
something is going on and we are not being told about it, Hell if I knew what was going on it would only change one thing I would die informed
