Is there any particular reason why 1590 and 1990 were chosen as the 'bookends'? --jjron (talk) 07:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It is based on a data from a research paper: Four centuries of geomagnetic secular variation from historical records.
While I'd prefer a longer pause at the end, I'd support this pic at FPC if it is moved to a better section in the article it illustrates and/or added to another similar article. It's hypnotyzing to watch the moving fields... Intothewoods29 (talk) 22:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
