Magnetic mirror point
text:
In astrophysics, a magnetic mirror point is a point where the motion of a charged particle trapped in a magnetic field reverses its direction. More precisely, it is the point where the projection of the particle's velocity vector in the direction of the field vector is equal to zero. Whenever charged particles from the sun hit Earth's magnetosphere, it is observed that the magnetic field of Earth reverses direction. Since the forces that generate our magnetic field are constantly changing, the f
