Earth’s Magnetic Field Has Massive Breach - scientists baffled
------------
From NASA News (h/t to Geoff Sharp) Dec. 16, 2008: NASA’s five THEMIS spacecraft have discovered a breach in Earth’s 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 didn’t 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.

I have heard before that the poles have shifted north becoming south but this info isn't telling us anything. What does this mean for us the inhabitants here on Earth are we going to be bombarded by these magnetic winds and how will the planet survive this or will it? Need someone to explain this if anyone can put it in laymen terms please do so. |

Look down in Avalon-"What does it mean?" under a thread called, Huge hole in our magnetic field!, there's a few links in there that might help!

Could this be Spirit's way to enlightening us? It is supposed to happen as we approach 2012. We will get a little at a time. This allows us to process it. I think if we receive it as an act of nature bringing the New Dawn upon us we will grow in the spirit. What we are seeing here is Spirit overcoming the powers that be and coming right in to us. Let us rejoice!

Re: Earth’s Magnetic Field Has Massive Breach - scientists baffled
Hey Myra no apologies necessary matey-i double post also-it can be quite confusing sometimes so many threads and info. everywhere-Sometimes i'm not sure whether to place articles in news or what does it mean-quite vague really,or post stuff in camelot as camelot covers certain issues and news stories-whereas i was informed that avalon is for the spiritual side and getting together but news threads are on there-which tends to be mostly negative stuff that we all need to be aware of i preparations etc.-so it is a little confusing!?lol.

The Pole has shifted 26 degrees already it occured on Dec 04 2006 and Dec 06 2006 and was caught by weather sats you may have also noticed at this time GPS sats went down a swell here is a link to the weather sats you need to watch the upper right hand corner

Re: Earth’s Magnetic Field Has Massive Breach - scientists baffled
Yeah I have noticed that the moon was at a different point in the sky than the last time I noticed it. I also noticed something bright to the left of it and this was back on the 29th or 30th of December.
