The Lombok Geomagnetic Observatory (LOK)

Geomagnetic Observatory is an essential facility for long time and continuous observation of “Earth’s magnetic fields“. Earth’s magnetic fields play an important role in shielding the Earth from cosmic rays, especially strong radiations due to solar winds. Without these fields, it will become impossible to have the Earth is a secure planet for living organisms including human kinds. Geomagnetic observation in Lombok Island is very important, because of its special geographical location, which is in between high intensities of contiguous positive-negative anomalies.
