Earth, 3 billion magnetic years

The current magnetic field of Earth is about 50 microscales, approximately half of it in 3,200 million years. Geologists did not believe that at that time there was such a strong field, but the traces that some geologists of the University of Rochester have found in some minerals created then are the reflection of a powerful magnetic field. This means that about 3 billion years ago the Earth had an iron zone -- origin of the magnetic field- and that the planet was protected from the solar wind -- consequence of the existence of a magnetic field-.
