The crack in the magnet field was created by a rare phenomenon called a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) from the Sun. CIRs are large-scale plasma structures generated in the low and mid-latitude regions of the heliosphere – the region surrounding the Sun that includes the solar magnetic field and the solar winds – when fast and slow-moving streams of solar wind interact.
Like coronal mass ejections (CMEs), CIRs get flung out from the Sun towards Earth and can contain shockwaves and compressed magnetic fields that cause stormy space weather, which usually presents itself to us as pretty aurorae.
This one hit Earth’s magnetic field in the early hours of July 7 and caused a long-lasting G1-class geomagnetic storm. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) analysts suspect a CME was embedded in the solar wind ahead of the CIR, Spaceweather.com reports.
Don't worry, cracks in Earth's magnetic field are normal. The magnetic field acts as a shield to protect us from solar storms spat out by the Sun. It was thought they opened and closed relatively quickly but now we know they can stay open for hours.
"We've discovered that our magnetic shield is drafty, like a house with a window stuck open during a storm," said Harald Frey, lead author of a study on this discovery back in 2003.

How much in taxes will it take to seal this cracked magnetic field?
CERN started up July 5.
Georgia Guidestone mysteriously blows up, continuous cameras not showing anybody planting explosive. Now this.
Pandora’s Box.
Well. This explains a lot!
THAT explains all those flying saucers 🛸🛸🛸.
Oh, OK.
(Georgia Guidestone mysteriously blows up, continuous cameras not showing anybody planting explosive)
Guess I haven’t kept up on that story.
A giant tube of Super Glue.
Was there a strange mist nearby?
Guess I missed it!
Or Gorilla Glue?
a video was released yesterday showing someone running up to and away from the guide stones before the explosion...
Did aliens come out?
“Or Gorilla Glue?”
I love you guys LOL
Time to break into the strategic duct tape reserve.
Michael Moore’s plumber’s crack!
Hopefully no more mass ejections!
I’ve seen bigfoot videos that are clearer than that one.
A crack opened up in the lebanon Tn Walmart parking lot as she leaned over to pick up her disability check she dropped while pushing her buggy at aged 32
Small pets disappeared in the vortex
Never to be seen again
Makes a great hair gel.
I hope it’s over Australia. Give them something else to whinge about.
i have security cameras all around my place...
morning dew and dirt has a tendency to stick to the lenses...
