I'm more worries that this is described as something coming from the sun and reaching first the part of the planet that is facing away from it.
I always knew the sun was a hoax and the earth is flat. I'm vindicated now.
I don't know a lot about this so maybe the article is still incorrect, but that may not be as ridiculous as it sounds. The magnetosphere isn't a perfect orb surrounding the planet and I thought I recalled hearing that the 'backside' and the poles were the weaker sides.
