Default Magnetosphere Simulation...

Ok does anybody know about the 'Magnetosphere Simulation' and what is is??

Simple explanation...
An asymmetrical region surrounding the earth, extending from about one hundred to several thousand kilometers above the surface, in which charged particles are trapped and their behavior is dominated by the earth's magnetic field.

this is what it normally looks like...

This is what it is doing now?!! Why...? In simple terms there must be a large body pulling the charged particles this way?? Yes?
