Science is one of the great human adventures. The growth of knowledge is the spine of any telling of the human story. While the future of science is unpredictable the only certainty is that we will know more in the future. For on every scale, from an atom‘s quantum state to the cosmos, and at every level of complexity, the key is time, and the future is open.

Flux transfer events (FTEs) at the magnetopause create channels for transfer of solar wind energy and plasma into geospace. This work provides a first in situ measurements on the 3D structure and magnetic topology of FTEs, together with the determination of FTE axes, to indicate the important roles of multiple reconnection in the FTE generation.
