But if our friends in the far north aren't looking forward to losing sunlight, they can look forward to the geomagnetic storms known as the Northern lights.

但是，如果我们在遥远的北方的朋友不期待失去阳光，可以期待被称“北极光”的磁风暴。

But the fun part of a possible geomagnetic storm is that the Northern Lights could be seen in places farther south than usual.

在可能出现的磁风暴中，有趣的是，人们可以在比平常更南边的方看到北极光。

The impact of the previous geomagnetic storm on satellite operations was not significant, but it has allowed many skywatching enthusiasts in northern China, including Beijing, to witness the aurora borealis.

之前的磁风暴对行的影响并不大，但它让包括北京在内的中国北方许多天文爱好者目睹了北极光。

Spacex says a geomagnetic storm late last week thickened the atmosphere, which increased drag on the satellites and ultimately led to their doom.

SpaceX公司表示，上周晚些时候的一场磁风暴使大气层变厚，增加了的阻力，最终导致了它们的灭亡。

He said that the incident is believed to be the largest collective loss of satellites from a single geomagnetic event.

他说，该事件被认为是单次磁事件造成的最大集体损失事件。

The more natural way that this could happen is with a severe geomagnetic disturbance, or GMD.

发生这种情况的更自然的方式是发生严重的磁扰动（GMD）。

Now, you'll likely have some strategic warning of a GMD, anywhere from around 18 hours to a few days, but a HEMP could potentially happen without any real warning.

你可能会收到磁扰动的一些战略警告，从18小时到几天不等，但高空电磁脉冲有可能在没有任何真正警告的情况下发生。

Without satellites, we wouldn't be ready for geomagnetic storms either.

如果没有，我们也无法做好应对磁风暴的准备。

A moderate solar storm knocked them out.

一场中等强度的磁风暴使它们瘫痪了。

Not the intensity of the geomagnetic disturbance itself.

不是磁干扰本身的强度。

On Earth, the magnetic field is sustained  by geodynamo activity within the core.

在球上，磁场是由核心内部的磁发电机效应维持的。

And so at first, Paul is like, oh, OK, so you're saying we're bouncing signals off of Venus or something, or maybe it's radiating impulses geomagnetically or something.

于是起初，保罗就像，哦，好吧，你是说我们在向金或其他什么方发射信号，或者可能是通过磁辐射脉冲之类的吧。

The next  time you look on Google maps and it thinks you might be a street across from where you  are, a geomagnetic storm might be to blame.

下次当您查看 Google 图时， 如果它认为您所在的位置可能位于街道对面，则可能是磁风暴造成的。

Some are deflected away, but the rest are caught in our magnetic field and drawn to both poles, leading to geomagnetic storms that penetrate our atmosphere.

一些被偏转远离球， 但其余的则被我们的磁场捕获并吸引到两极，从而引发穿透大气层的磁风暴。

Let's see, a geomagnetic storm of this magnitude occurring today has the potential to cause widespread electrical disruptions, blackouts, and damage to the electrical power grid.

让我们看看，如今发生如此的磁风暴，有可能导致广泛的电力中断、停电以及对电力网的损害。

Studies suggest that sea turtles can imprint or learn their home beach's distinctive magnetic signature upon birth through a process called geomagnetic imprinting.

研究表明，海龟在出生时，能通过一种称为磁印记的过程，刻印或学习到它们出生海滩的独特磁场特征。

Intagliata: But here's what they didn't know: How does that light-sensitive protein, cryptochrome, actually help the birds sense magnetic fields?

伊塔利亚塔：但这里有个他们不知道的事情：那种光敏感蛋白质——隐花色素，究竟是如何帮助鸟类感知磁场的？

The needle's naturally drawn to the Earth's magnetic North Pole.

指针会自然指向磁场的北极。

Turns out, that was the result of the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history.

原来，那是一次有史以来最强烈的磁风暴的结果。

The Carrington event remains the most intense  geomagnetic storm to date in recorded history.

卡灵顿事件至今仍是记录在案的历史中最强烈的磁风暴。
