Earths magnetosphere, artwork
Earths magnetic field. Artwork showing Earths magnetosphere (blue) in the solar wind (not to scale). The field lines originate from the poles, and form a shield that protects the Earth from the radiation of the solar wind (orange). The solar wind is made up of energetic charged particles. Earths magnetic field channels these towards the poles, where they collide with the atmosphere and produce aurorae. The pressure of the solar wind causes Earths magnetic field to be flattened on the sunward side and form a tail millions of kilometres long pointing away from the Sun. The field is generated by currents of molten iron in the Earths core

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures Earth's magnetosphere, showcasing the intricate dance between our planet and the solar wind. The vibrant blue hues represent Earth's magnetic field, which acts as a protective shield against the onslaught of radiation from the orange solar wind. This invisible force emanates from the Sun, composed of energetic charged particles that pose a threat to life on Earth. The mesmerizing field lines depicted in this print originate from our planet's poles, channeling these charged particles towards them. As they collide with our atmosphere at high speeds, they create breathtaking aurorae that illuminate polar skies with their ethereal beauty. The pressure exerted by the solar wind causes an intriguing phenomenon: Earth's magnetic field becomes flattened on its sunward side while forming an elongated tail stretching millions of kilometers away from the Sun. This remarkable feature is represented in this artwork, offering a glimpse into one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles. It is worth noting that this complex magnetic field is generated by currents of molten iron flowing within Earth's core—a testament to our planet's dynamic geology and astrophysical forces at play. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty in this illustration—an exquisite portrayal of how Earth interacts with its cosmic surroundings.
