Magnetic Breach
Magnetic Breach
By Erin Shaw for Reality Sandwich

NASA's latest exploration reveals "a breach in Earth's magnetic field ten times larger than anything previously thought to exist." Five space probes from the THEMIS mission (time history of events and macroscale interactions during substorms) flew through the opening and recorded "a torrent of solar wind particles streaming into the magnetosphere, signaling an event of unexpected size and importance." The opening was created by magnetic reconnection, when terrestrial and solar magnetic fields press against each other and crack open the magnetosphere. In this case, the conduits of solar wind from Earth's North and South Poles overlapped at the equator to create this unprecedented breach.
While the solar winds don't necessarily trigger geomagnetic storms themselves, they do load the magnetic field with plasma, which is linked to the auroras, power outages, and satellite disturbances that directly affect us. The Solar Storm Watch could become more important as we enter Solar Cycle 24, during which it is more likely that solar winds will load the magnetosphere with plasma just before a geomagnetic storm. According to space physicists, this increase in solar winds and plasma levels could create "the perfect sequence for a really big event," possibly stronger storms that are more disruptive of satellite activity and power supply.

Space Portals
Magnetic Portals Connect Sun and Earth

During the time it takes you to read this, something will happen high overhead that until recently many scientists didn't believe in. A magnetic portal will open, linking Earth to the sun 93 million miles away. Tons of high-energy particles may flow through the opening before it closes again, around the time you reach the end of the page.
"It's called a flux transfer event or 'FTE,'" says space physicist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. "Ten years ago I was pretty sure they didn't exist, but now the evidence is incontrovertible."
Researchers have long known that the Earth and sun must be connected. Earth's magnetosphere (the magnetic bubble that surrounds our planet) is filled with particles from the sun that arrive via the solar wind and penetrate the planet's magnetic defenses. They enter by following magnetic field lines that can be traced from terra firma all the way back to the sun's atmosphere.
Several speakers at the Workshop have outlined how FTEs form: On the dayside of Earth (the side closest to the sun), Earth's magnetic field presses against the sun's magnetic field. Approximately every eight minutes, the two fields briefly merge or "reconnect," forming a portal through which particles can flow. The portal takes the form of a magnetic cylinder about as wide as Earth. The European Space Agency's fleet of four Cluster spacecraft and NASA's five THEMIS probes have flown through and surrounded these cylinders, measuring their dimensions and sensing the particles that shoot through. "They're real," says Sibeck.
