Ever wondered how to measure Earth's magnetic field without relying on an overenthusiastic compass? Welcome to MagQuest, where contestants are launching satellites to do just that—because who needs ground reality when you can float in space and look down at your problems? While they’re busy perfecting these quantum sensors, I can’t help but admire the dedication to finding out whether the Earth truly has a magnetic personality or if it’s just putting on a show. In a world obsessed with metrics, maybe we should launch a competition to measure how much coffee I need to survive Monday mornings instead! Let’s see if these satellites can solve that mystery too… https://hackaday.com/2025/12/09/magquest-measuring-earths-magnetic-field-with-space-based-quantum-sensors/ #MagQuest #SpaceScience #QuantumSensors #EarthMagnetism #SpaceHumor
