The Reiner Gamma lunar swirl photographed by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is an example

Obviously another example of the heavy price the solar system is paying for America’s addiction to Capitalism.

“... it may be possible to create a stronger magnetic field artificially.”

When they mentioned magnetic rocks I thought “Just have the folks carry around a big magnet.”

But yes - a wound coil and iron could create a a very large magnetic “force field”. Would come in handy on Mars.

"Obviously another example of the heavy price the solar system is paying for America’s addiction to Capitalism."

Great sarcasm! :)

Seriously, any information like this that shows how awesomely unique our magnetic field is also shows how Earth was uniquely created, not some random accident like a thought process in AOC's brain.

Hmm - looking at that cartoon. It almost looks as if the moon (and planets with no magnetic field?) is a big battery - a rechargable solar battery.

A couple of big steel posts and 4,000 miles of wire ....

Do the ancient aliens living inside the moon know about this? /s

what is pictured is not a sunburn but the track of the double-helix plasma of a Birkeland current winding its way across the lunar surface. —Electric/Plasma Universe PING!

On the trail of Birkland Current Paths in the
ELECTRIC/PLASMA UNIVERSE PING!

If you want on or off the Electric Universe/Plasma Ping List, Freepmail me.

Too many SUV’s driven and cheeseburgers eaten on the Moon.

Moon farts.

I guess that explains this field of wild grass and wild flowers in the middle of the ice (poor quality)
