Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

Our rating: False. Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that a compass wouldn't work if Earth is spherical. Compasses orient themselves to the Earth's magnetic field lines.

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...

Scientists map and track Earth's magnetic field using something called the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which was jointly developed by the British Geological Survey and the National Centers for ...

The Inouye Solar Telescope's First Maps of the Corona's Magnetic Field Since the 1950s, solar physicists have mapped the magnetic fields on the Sun's surface, providing valuable insights.

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

The sun's magnetic field generates regions in the sun's atmosphere, often rooted by sunspots, that store vast amounts of energy that fuel explosive solar storms and drive space weather.

Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map.

But recent research suggests they may also use the Earth’s magnetic field as a backup system. When visual or echo cues are unavailable, bats can still orient themselves and find their way ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a crucial role in this process, guiding them in the right direction. But what truly puzzles researchers is how the birds know when it’s time to stop.

Further, physicists like Cohen say that the Earth’s magnetic field isn’t going to flip overnight. This is something that reverses on a time scale between 100,000 and 1,000,000 years.
