Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic ...

The magnetic north pole is different from the geographic North Pole. The geographic North Pole (or “true north”) is where Earth’s axis meets its surface and is a fixed point on the globe.

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...

During the March and September equinoxes, the Earth's axis is parallel to the sun's. According to the Russell-McPherron effect, the magnetic fields of the Earth and the solar wind momentarily ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

Earth's axis will be side-on to the sun ... lights occur when charged particles from the sun — called the solar wind — ...

would be overwhelmed by the planet’s complex and extremely powerful magnetosphere — which is some 20,000 times the strength of Earth’s. Meanwhile, Saturn’s magnetic field is nearly perfectly aligned ...

SOME preliminary results have been obtained from an investigation being undertaken at College, Alaska, concerning the correspondence of the Earth's magnetic field micropulsations 1 with pulsating ...

As the spring equinox approaches, northern lights hunters will scour the skies for breathtaking displays of color.
