[ RadSafe ] Mars Radiation Won't Harm Astronauts, Curiosity Rover Finds

Sun Nov 18 15:48:28 CST 2012

Hmmmm,

      Perhaps the Earth will not be protected from  Cosmic Radiation, Solar 
Events etc. the next time
the Earth's magnetic pole "flips" in polarity.  Will this cause mass  
extinctions????
Something to think about...

Hi  David:

Mars does have an iron-nickel core but it has lost it's magnetic  field up
to 3-4 billion years ago billion or so years ago, thus no  protection from
CME events.

Earth may be luckier in this regard  since the early history of the earth
included a massive impact with a  planet-sized body, creating the moon and
possibly adding significant iron  for the core to keep us warm and
magnetic...
