Here's a video I came across the other day surfing. Some relaxing lounge music and nice pictures. (Right click in the move and you can turn HD on/off and go to full screen).

It's visual reminder of just what deadly, high energy particles are being deflected by the Eath's Magnetic field. Without the Aurora, all this high energy stuff would be blasting the Earth's surface....no way there could ever be life under this scenario..........we sure live on a cosmological knife-edge !!!!
