When to Use Earth Magnetosphere 3D Explorer - Best Sessions and Limits
Open the Earth Magnetosphere 3D Explorer when you need the large-scale dipole field and magnetopause boundary (about 6-10 Re sunward, about 11 deg tilt, about 25-65 uT) - without an MHD model or storm forecast.
A five-minute classroom demo
A five-minute classroom demo starts when you open Earth Magnetosphere 3D Explorer, press Quiet then Compressed, and pause so students see the magnetopause jump from about 10 Re to about 6 Re.
Tilt literacy in Earth Magnetosphere 3D Explorer
Tilt literacy in Earth Magnetosphere 3D Explorer stays readable when you keep the facts panel open for about 11 deg and about 25-65 uT while scrubbing the magnetopause standoff slider.
Sessions Earth Magnetosphere 3D Explorer does not fit
Sessions Earth Magnetosphere 3D Explorer does not fit are aurora emission curtains, AU-scale heliosphere tours, MHD solvers, or live IMF feeds. Use Aurora 3D or Solar Wind Heliosphere 3D instead. Walk the controls on the Earth Magnetosphere 3D Explorer itself.
For the giant-planet case instead of Earth's, the Jupiter Magnetosphere 3D Explorer when-to-use guide covers a magnetopause roughly ten times farther out (about 45-100 Rj) and a magnetotail that reaches past Saturn.
