E_4_03 — Paleomagnetism & Geomagnetic Excursions

Earth's magnetic field periodically undergoes dramatic excursions and full polarity reversals, with profound physical consequences including weakened radiation shielding, increased UV exposure, and ozone depletion. The L

E_4_09 — Magnetic Pole Reversals and the Laschamp Event

Earth's magnetic field periodically undergoes geomagnetic reversals — events in which the north and south magnetic poles swap polarity. This has occurred at least 183 times in the last 83 million years, with the last ful

E_1_09 — Solar Storms and Miyake Events

The Sun periodically releases enormous bursts of energy — coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar proton events (SPEs) — that interact with Earth's magnetosphere and can have devastating consequences for technology-depen

Q_1_08 — Observable Universe and Cosmic Web

The observable universe has a diameter of ~93 billion light-years (comoving distance) and contains an estimated 2 trillion galaxies (Conselice et al. 2016), ~10²⁴ stars, and ~10⁸⁰ atoms. But its most striking feature is

O_1_02 — Magnetosphere, Solar Activity, and Earth's Shield

Earth's magnetic field is an invisible shield that makes complex life on the surface possible — without it, solar wind would strip away the atmosphere and sterilize the planet, as happened to Mars ~3.8 billion years ago

O_1_10 — Carrington Event and Space Weather Threats to Earth

The Carrington Event of September 1–2, 1859 was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history — caused by a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun that struck Earth's magnetosphere approximately 17.6 h

ZA_4_04 — Plasma Physics: The Fourth State of Matter

Plasma — ionized gas in which electrons are stripped from atoms — constitutes over 99% of the visible matter in the universe. Stars, nebulae, the interstellar medium, lightning, and the solar wind are all plasmas. Unlike
