Description
Finding an explanation for the phenomena known as the Northern Lights is the lynch pin of this programme about the Earth's Magnetic Field. The answer encompasses both an excursion into plasmas, sea...s of charged particles, and also a look at the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's Magnetic Field.
