Magnetic Observatory

A Magnetic Observatory is a scientific facility that monitors and studies Earth's magnetic field. It measures variations in magnetic forces caused by natural phenomena, solar activity, and human activities. These observatories help scientists understand changes in the Earth's magnetism, which can influence navigation systems, communication networks, and even climate. By collecting data over time, researchers can track patterns and make predictions about geomagnetic storms and other significant events, contributing to our overall knowledge of Earth’s environment and space weather.
