In the solar system we have this tradition of always talking to each other about what our residents are up to. Since I can remember, the residents located on Earth (they call themselves humans) were always very curious. Every now and then they send things they build out here in space, I think it’s cool, I love watching it. I heard they see me as a challenge because of my temperature. Well, what can I do?
Recently they sent a very tiny space object over to explore me. I loved it and got very excited. I have to say I love company and talking. Since it’s just me and Mercury, I only talk to him and sometimes it gets kinda boring.
I’m going to tell you some things about me. I know you are from Earth so I will tell you what I do to your planet. You must have heard about the northern lights or aurora borealis, they are lights that show up in your sky when I send some winds. But you can only see it in the sky at the poles of the Earth. The winds in question are charged, they have electricity. Your planet has something called a magnetic field, also known as magnetosphere. It's very powerful and it helps protect you. When my wind meets your magnetic field it’s magical; the particles in my wind can collide with some molecules in your upper atmosphere and sometimes they generate some extra energy, which is released as light, it’s beautiful.
Remember I told you your magnetosphere protects you? Well, you should think about the consequence of your magnetic field being a little too strong. If he wasn’t the way he is, a lot could go wrong for you, so take it as a compliment. He protects you especially from me. There is -a lot- going on at the moment in my atmosphere I should say; explosions, winds being sent, so much radiation, etc. Your magnetic field protects you from all of this, he's a true friend, keep him around.
It was really nice talking about me and about you too. You live on the most beautiful planet of the solar system, I love watching you guys live your lives and how curious you are about what’s going on out here. Just a quick reminder: I haven’t seen a planet this beautiful and rich anywhere so take care of it, he’s unique.
