🌍⚡ Earth’s Magnetic Shield Collapsed for 6 Hours ❗ On September 9th, 2025, GOES satellites recorded Earth’s magnetic field collapsing inward for six hours. The magnetopause was pushed inside geostationary orbit, a rare breach of our planet’s shield. But the Sun was quiet. No flares. No proton storm. Kp stayed low. Even ACE solar wind data showed calm conditions. The shield gave way with no storm to explain it. The data proves it happened. The cause remains unknown. #SpaceWeather #Magnetosphere
