🧲 Earth's Dipole Field: L-Shells, Compass Dip Angle and Trapped-Particle Mirror Bounce

Read a dip compass anywhere on the globe, squeeze the magnetosphere with the solar wind and follow a charged particle through its gyration, mirror bounce and drift: dipole field lines r = L cos²λ, tan I = 2 tan λ, Boris integration and the loss cone.
