Weak spot in magnetic field may be caused by an ancient planet buried inside the Earth

There is a weak spot in the Earth’s magnetic field, and some scientists believe it may have been caused by the remnants of an ancient planet that impacted the Earth billions of years ago. The Earth has a protective geomagnetic field that shields the planet from deadly solar radiation. This field is generated by a process that … Continue reading Weak spot in magnetic field may be caused by an ancient planet buried inside the Earth

Solar storms, magnetic pole shift loom as hundreds of dolphins and whales wind up dead worldwide

Hundreds of dolphins and whales are recently washing up dead on different shores across the world in what might be an ominous sign of the times. Experts are still investigating the cause of death, but there is speculation that intense solar activity and Earth’s weakening magnetic field likely contributed to the deaths. Mass die-offs in the sea Eighty-six dolphins … Continue reading Solar storms, magnetic pole shift loom as hundreds of dolphins and whales wind up dead worldwide

Research: Strange behavior of Earth’s magnetic field in the South Atlantic believed to be symptoms of an event that repeats every few million years

The Earth is protected from solar wind — a stream of charged particles from the sun — by its geomagnetic field. But this protective barrier is weak in certain areas, particularly south of the Atlantic Ocean. Called the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), this area makes it easier for solar wind and other cosmic rays to enter the … Continue reading Research: Strange behavior of Earth’s magnetic field in the South Atlantic believed to be symptoms of an event that repeats every few million years
