"Magnetic Storm" NOVA: From PBS.org and NOVA "Magnetic Storm: Like the plot of a sci-fi B movie, something weird is happening deep underground where the constant spin of Earth's liquid metallic core generates an invisible magnetic force field that shields our planet from harmful radiation in space.

"Magnetic Storm - Earth's Invisible Shield" looks into our potentially unsettling magnetic future.
