Earth’s magnetic field is not fixed—it drifts, flips, and even weakens over time, altering navigation and planetary protection from solar radiation. Since its discovery in 1831, magnetic north ...

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) ...
