3D Printed Magnetosphere - with instructions

Information about 3D Printed Magnetosphere Model

The 3D Printed Magnetosphere Model was created by citizen science project Aurorasaurus in collaboration with NASA's STEAM Innovation Lab and the Magnetosphere Multiscale Mission (MMS). This Version 1.0 is an intermediate-level print project intended to be expanded upon by Makers, educators, subject matter experts (SMEs), and the general public. Safety note: This model contains small pieces and may contain neodymium magnets. Use caution with younger learners.
