How Earth's Magnetic Field Shielded Us from 2014 Solar Storm

How Earth’s Magnetic Field Shielded Us from 2014 Solar Storm

How Earth’s Magnetic Field Shielded Us from 2014 Solar Storm– A giant eruption from the sun that scientists thought would hit Earth in 2014 missed because the sun’s magnetic field channeled it away from the planet in an unexpected way, researchers say. This finding could lead to better modeling and forecasting of disruptive solar storms in the future, the scientists added. Solar eruptions, known…

Astronomy, study of the universe and the celestial bodies, gas, and dust within it. Astronomy includes observations and theories about the solar system, the stars, the galaxies, and the general structure of space

Astronomy is the oldest science, dating back thousands of years to when primitive people noticed objects in the sky overhead and watched the way the objects moved. In ancient Egypt, the first appearance of certain stars each year marked the onset of the seasonal flood, an important event for agriculture. In 17th-century England, astronomy provided methods of keeping track of time that were especially useful for accurate navigation. Astronomy has a long tradition of practical results, such as our current understanding of the stars, day and night, the seasons, and the phases of the Moon. Much of today’s research in astronomy does not address immediate practical problems. Instead, it involves basic research to satisfy our curiosity about the universe and the objects in it. One day such knowledge may well be of practical use to humans.
