Scientists have made a shocking discovery – the Earth’s magnetic field is weakening. The magnetic field is vital for life on our planet, as it shields us from cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted from the sun. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has been observed between Africa and South America, called the South … Read more
