Understanding Earth’s formation through its magnetic field

Properties in our planet's magnetic field could unlock the secrets of Earth’s formation 4.5 billion years ago.
The coloured lines show how cosmic rays are deflected in magnetic fields. The white straight lines represent a large-scale magnetic field. In addition, small-scale magnetic fields not shown here act on the paths of the particles (coloured lines). Credit: RUB, Dr. Lukas Merten
