Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material shoot off of the Sun and out into space. The magnetosphere shields Earth from this solar wind, but it can get in near the poles and disrupt satellite, radio and GPS signals. Three new missions launching into the northern polar cusp will aim to improve this technology problem: https://go.nasa.gov/35qUn3V | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

☀️ The Sun never stops attacking us — unleashing streams of deadly solar wind racing across space at a million miles per hour. But Earth hides behind an invisible guardian — the magnetosphere — a magnetic shield that bends the storm away. 🌍⚡ Mars lost its shield… now it’s silent. Venus couldn’t resist… now it burns. Earth still stands — for now. What if one day… the shield fades? #SolarWind #Magnetosphere #SpaceMystery #ScienceFact #EarthVsMars #CosmicShield #StayCurious #fblifestyle #sun | Bey
