If you venture too close to one of Earth's poles, you'll notice something rather strange happening to any gadgets using radio waves, satellite connections, or GPS.
NASA is backing a range of initiatives to investigate the northern polar cusp, a funnel in space that's thought to be behind some of the weird space phenomena happening above the poles.
This funnel, and the matching one at the South Pole, allows solar winds from the Sun to get right down to Earth's atmosphere in other words, here the solar winds aren't reflected back out into space by the Earth's magnetic field, as they are across the rest of the planet.
All of this measuring and data collection should help scientists better understand what they're dealing with, and better predict how the cusp is going to behave in the future which is crucial if we're going to avoid serious interference with our low-orbit and Earth technology systems.
CREX-2, ICI-5, and CHI are part of a broader initiative of nine different missions investigating the northern polar cusp, a number of which have already been run.
"Each mission has its own strengths," says physicist Miguel Larsen from Clemson University in South Carolina, who is in charge of CHI.

NASA’s primary mission should be to help private space companies bypass useless government regulation.
Same with 'climate change' and asteroids hitting earth...our little brains think because we can finally measure it - that it's all new and happening NOW...
Then again, 'grant money' really IS in the here and now...
Isn’t NASA on board with the current 12 year climate change hysteria? If so, then what’s the use of studying anything? We’re all gonna die if we don’t kill prosperity right now anyway, right?
Climate change causes black poles.
And thats racist.
/sarc
No. That’s not racist. Observing black poles are bigger is racist...
O.K. yes, but rare compared to much further north where the effect is seen every year
You win the grant money is in the mail.
When was the last known time that the poles flipped?
About 12,000 years ago, right before the end of the last ice age.
All of this measuring and data collection should help scientists better understand what they’re dealing with, and better predict how the cusp is going to behave in the future which is crucial if we’re going to avoid serious interference with our low-orbit and Earth technology systems.
“help scientists better understand what they’re dealing with”
What can PUNY humans do about this cosmic event? NOTHING!
“predict how the cusp is going to behave in the future”
“predict the future”. Now there is a worthy cause./s Taxpayer and grant money spent on TRYING to predict the future, which we all know is IMPOSSIBLE!
“which is crucial if we’re going to avoid serious interference with our low-orbit and Earth technology systems.”
Oh yeah? Let me see, has there been any “serious interference” with our low-orbit and Earth technology systems over let’s say the last almost FIFTY (50) years?
“...the polar cusp was discovered simultaneously at both low and high altitudes in 1971,...”
1971.
I think a vast majority of “our low-orbit and Earth technology systems” have been developed SINCE 1971.
Also the “cusp (s)” (although I just heard of this “cusp” for the first time today) were DISCOVERED in 1971. Meaning they likely ALWAYS existed. (created by God for His purposes)
No wonder I got lost in Poland.
Egad! Hollow Earth!!! /jk Thanks BenLurkin.

That was one of the things that was supposed to happen when Niburu made its pass by earth. In 2003.
Then, it was supposed to happen on December 21, 2012 at the end of the Mayan calendar.
If you want on or off the Electric Universe/Plasma Ping List, Freepmail me.
My kid is on the flight operations team at NASA for one of these missions.
Could it be that the solar winds feed ions into the core, causing it to keep expanding, causing plate drifts? The solar winds funneled into the earth add matter to the core?
Seems like one could think of it as the respective magnetic field “biorhythms” of the sun and the earth simultaneously hitting their low points. Hilarity ensues.
osh - if you look at diagrams of the shape of earth’s magnetic fields, you see that they loop from the poles and shield the rest of the Earth more than the direct line coming head-on to/from the poles....they’re just looking for more ways to waste money funding faux scientists.
