Earth's "Magnetosphere" COLLAPSED in Space April 22 for two+ hours!

[Mystic Wanderer]

A terrifying event took place in space surrounding our planet; for two hours on April 22nd earth's "Magnetosphere" COLLAPSED leaving the entire planet vulnerable to solar winds and some radiation.


EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE

Deep within the Earth, a fierce molten core is generating a magnetic field capable of defending our planet against devastating solar winds. The protective field, called the "magnetosphere" extends thousands of miles into space and its magnetism affects everything from global communication to animal migration and weather patterns.  The magnetosphere is the region of space surrounding Earth where the dominant magnetic field is the magnetic field of Earth, rather than the magnetic field of interplanetary space. The magnetosphere is formed by the interaction of the solar wind with Earth’s magnetic field. This figure illustrates the shape and size of Earth’s magnetic field that is continually changing as it is buffeted by the solar wind.

COMPLETE COLLAPSE FOR TWO+ HOURS!

This morning at 01:37:05 eastern US Time, which is 05:37:05 UTC, satellites from the NASA Space Weather Prediction Center detected a complete collapse of earth's magnetosphere!  It simply vanished for just over two hours, resuming as normal around 03:39:51 eastern US time, which is 07:39:51 UTC.  

Here is how NASA Space Weather Satellites recorded the event:

 During this outage of the magnetosphere, the arrows on the image below show complete reversal of Interstellar magnetic flows around earth; the arrows show all the magnetic energy from interstellar space is moving back toward the Sun!

DEVASTATING EFFECTS UPON EARTH

This magnetic juggling act can have devastating effects upon Earth.  This is not a small magnetic situation; it is HUGE . . . planetary HUGE.   When something this large happens to earth's magnetic fields, it can trigger massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, unpredictable ocean currents and tides.  The blast of heat energy that managed to get through the magnetoPAUSE during this time on the dayside of the planet, will have sent a large surge of heat energy into the exposed ocean areas, increasing water temperatures enough to cause severe storms.

Hang-on, folks.  We could  be in for quite a ride over the next few days as this strange occurrence plays out in earth's weather and seismic events.

This doesn't sound good!!  I haven't had any major problems here... yet, but I wonder if any damage was done elsewhere?  Anyone have anything to report?
