Scientists Discover Evidence of Ancient Earth's Peculiarly Strong Magnetic Field


by ExtremeTech

ExtremeTech— The planet's magnetic field was already at half-strength 3.7 billion years ago.

KRQE News 13—LANL scientists say they’ve discovered potentially Earth-like environments on ancient Mars. LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (KRQE) – Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory say they've discovered Earth-like environments on ancient Mars. NASA's Curiosity rover recently found higher than usual amounts of Manganese on Mars craters showing sediments where water used to be and a nearby shoreline of an ancient lake. The rover has been exploring the planet's surface []

dailym.ai—Scientists discover remains of a 'buried planet' deep inside EARTH. Fragments of Planet Theia appear to be buried deep beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean. And now more evidence has been found deep in the moon via NASA's GRAIL craft

Phys.org—Weak magnetic field may have supported diversification of life on Earth. An unusual reduction in the strength of Earth's magnetic field between 591 and 565 million years ago coincided with a significant increase in the oxygen levels in the atmosphere and oceans, according to a paper published in Communications Earth & Environment. The authors propose that the weakening of the magnetic field may have led to the increase in oxygen, which is believed to have supported the evolution of some of the earliest complex organisms.
