the NASA Magnetosphere Multiscale Mission
written by Patricia Reiff and Carolyn Sumners designer: the Evans & Sutherland
This 23-minute video from NASA shows how Earth's magnetic field protects our planet from ionized particles from the Sun and our galaxy. But it's a standout because it does much more. it shows us the first aurora seen simultaneously from the ground and the ISS; it explains the newer Magnetosphere Multiscale Mission (MMS) and its quest to understand magnetic reconnection phenomena; it explores magnetic field (or lack of one) on the other planets in our solar system; provides beautiful images of auroras on Earth, and it illustrates the Milky Way's galactic magnetic field. This resource, produced as a full-dome planetarium show, could be a highly visual way to introduce an instructional unit on planetary magnetic field.
Editor's Note: Teachers: If you want to focus only on magnetic field interactions between Earth and the Sun, you can stop the film at 15 minutes. The final 8 minutes explore galactic magnetic field and fields in exoplanets, the Crab Nebula, and brown dwarf stars.
