The earth’s magnetic poles are not at the north and south geographic poles. Therefore, geomagnetic latitude & longitude and the geomagnetic equator differ from the corresponding geographic values. The earth’s magnetic poles tend to wander slowly and thus the geomagnetic latitude, longitude and equator will vary slowly over time.
FAQ
What is “Project INSPIRE”?
INSPIRE (http://theinspireproject.org) is a non-profit scientific, educational orporation whose objective is to bring the excitement of observing natural and manmade radio waves in the audio region to high school students. Underlying this objective is the conviction that science and technology are the underpinnings of our modern society, and that only with an understanding of science and technology can people make correct decisions in their lives, public, professional, and private. Stimulating students to learn and understand science and technology is key to them fulfilling their potential in the best interests of our society. INSPIRE also is an innovative, unique opportunity for students to actively gather data that might be used in a basic research project.
