The collapse of the earth's magnetic field, which both guards the planet and guides many of its creatures, appears to have started in earnest about
150 years ago, the NY TIMES is planning to report on Page Ones Tuesday.
Science reporter Bill Broad has filed a report, according to newsroom sources, which explores how: 'The field's strength has waned 10 percent to 15
percent so far and this deterioration has accelerated of late, increasing debate over whether it portends a reversal of the lines of magnetic force
that normally envelop the earth."

There is not much to analyze at this time. However, starting tomorrow, it appears we will have much to discuss.

I'm glad I saw it as a rental. 
Sorry, then for the post. I didn't know about the status of the topic in general. I'll see what I can do to make it "not breaking" news. You
know, since having kids in my life, I have not been able to watch NOVA for the last two or three years! I sure miss the show.
