Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind.

@wonderofscience Thank you for this! The magnetosphere deflects charged solar particles through magnetohydrodynamic processes. NASA's Heliophysics research shows this creates auroras as particles funnel to the poles. How might solar maximum activity affect our tech infrastructure? #indigenouspeoplesday #MonochromeMonday #magicsongsorpoems #Fotomontag #mastobada #science
