I put a video together of the pictures of the Magnetosphere getting hit today (5/29/11).
We are having a solar storm and the magnetosphere totally collapsed at one point as we were getting hit hard.
I am starting to see that more and more. Our magnetic field has been getting weaker over time.
In 2004 National Geographic did an article about it getting weaker - in it they say by 10%.
New Scientist article about it getting weaker, from 2003.
PBS show - NOVA about it weakening from 2003
Russian Scientist article that says there is lots going on with our sun and our magnetosphere is so weak it is now erratic!
I highly suggest reading the above link over any of the others. It gives information about what is going on with all the planets fields and especially with the sun.
Now here is my video, I just put together of our Magnetic field collapsing (around 23 sec mark) as we were getting a big hit. You will also see towards the end how holes happened, a torn apart look of the field.
