Magnetic field reversal and the solar minimum may lead to extinction-level event, study suggests

An international team of researchers suggests that low solar activity and the reversal of the magnetic field together may have cataclysmic effects that can spell the end of life. In a study recently published in the journal Science, the researchers detailed how the decline of the archaic Neanderthals and extinction of megafauna may be linked to the solar minimum a long time ago and the Laschamp … Continue reading Magnetic field reversal and the solar minimum may lead to extinction-level event, study suggests
