Solar Wind Is Strangely Drawn to Earth’s North Pole, And Scientists Don’t Know Why – ScienceAlert

Likely the most well-known result of the Earth’s magnetic field are the Aurora Borealis and Australis (Northern and Southern Lights). When charged particles from the solar wind run into the Earth’s magnetic field, they can occasionally elicit spectacular light displays.
For years now, scientists have thought that the charged particles that cause those displays were sent in equal numbers toward the North and South Pole.
However, recent research from a team led by scientists from the University of…
