Current Magnetopause Image/Read ~ 7/9/18

 

editor’s note:  well it is rather important i know what i am sharing here ~ at least most of the time.  sometimes it’s a guess until i take the time ~ which i did tonight (in between making dinner and doing laundry).  so this magnetopause i have been sharing…..the magnetosphere is the area surrounding the earth in which the magnetic field is the “predominant effective magnetic field.”  the magnetopause is the outer region of the magnetosphere ~ the boundary between the earth and the magnetic field. the shape of it is the result of the solar wind.

i also found an awesome video (below the recent image) showing what the normal image is for the magnetosphere.  as of june 1st, it switched to purple (normally it’s mostly blue with some yellow).  just as i had thought and heard – this image is not “normal”.  up next:  my search to understand the different colors on the spectrum…
