Family and Friends
Family and friends come first. My wife and I raised two fine young adults currently roaming the halls of higher education and we've family in New England, Denmark, Florida, Michigan, California, and elsewhere (that we don't see enough of).

Scott Bolton (L) and Jack Connerney (R) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for Jupiter Orbit Insertion
These guys are good.
Jack describes the magnetic field of the earth
The Earth's magnetic field slowly changes in time, over decades and centuries; this slow variation is called the 'secular variation'. In centuries past, magnetic surveys would be repeated from time to time to maintain accurate field models for navigation.
