Battle Between Sun And Earth For Our Atmosphere



Rochester NY (SPX) Mar 08, 2010 - Scientists at the University of Rochester have discovered that the Earth's magnetic field 3.5 billion years ago was only half as strong as it is today, and that this weakness, coupled with a strong wind of energetic particles from the young Sun, likely stripped water from the early Earth's atmosphere. The findings, presented in Science, suggest that the magnetopause - the boundary where th ... more

Magnetic fields trigger solar wind


From SpaceWeather.com:

FARSIDE ACTION: Today, the most active part of the sun is not visible from Earth. Sunspot complex 1052-1053 continues to spit CMEs into space from its location behind the sun's western limb. These farside eruptions pose no threat to our planet.

PLANETS AT NOON: Jupiter and Mercury are converging for a remarkable conjunction. On March 7th the two bright planets will be only a little more than 1o apart. It would be a beautiful sight, except for one thing. The event is happening at high noon in close proximity to the blinding sun:


Human eyes cannot see the conjunction, but the Solar and Heliospheric Observtory (SOHO) can. Using a disk to block the glare, SOHO's coronagraph reveals planets, stars and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the immediate vicinity of the sun.

The East Pacific Rise is a mid-oceanic ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Pacific Ocean. It separates the Pacific Plate to the west from (north to south) the North American Plate, the Rivera Plate, the Cocos Plate, the Nazca Plate, and the Antarctic Plate. It runs from an undefined point near Antarctica in the south northward to its termination at the northern end of the Gulf of California in the Salton Sea basin in southern California.
