#Earth's magnetic field may be more than 750 million years older than previously thought The Earth's magnetic field is crucial to life on the planet.
A new analysis of zircon minerals suggests that the field originated at least 4. 2 billion years ago a hop after the planet formed in the geological timeline,
who was one of the researchers responsible for the previous-best estimate of the age of Earth's magnetic field (3. 2 to 3. 45 billion years).
For this new estimate, Tarduno and his team looked at tiny zircon gemstones in Western australia that date back to the earliest two eons in the planet's history the Archean and Hadean periods.
The magnetic data the researchers found embedded in the ancient magnetite suggests that the Earth had a magnetic field at least 750 million years earlier than previously thought.
which involved all the planets in the Solar system getting pummelled by comets and asteroids for two or three hundred million years.
This event is thought to be the reason why it's so hard for scientists to glean information about the Earth's very early history it wiped out most of the geologic record.
which is the heat release mechanism in the Earth's liquid inner core that generates the magnetic field,
