Stories the Earth Tells with Dan Gish: The Magnetosphere

April 2 | 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Ditmars Orchard & Vineyard

Join geologist Dan Gish for an illuminating look at the magnetosphere, the invisible powerhouse protecting our planet. Generated deep within the Earth's core, this magnetic field acts as a vital shield, deflecting harmful solar radiation and charged particles that would otherwise make life impossible.

In this session, Dan breaks down the complex science of our planetary defenses:
The Source: What actually creates this massive magnetic field?
History & Change: How has the field shifted over millions of years?
Current Observations: What recent changes are scientists tracking today?

Don't miss this chance to uncover the dynamic forces thousands of miles beneath our feet that safeguard our atmosphere above.
