Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought. Scientists still have ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

Our phones have already adjusted to the latest shift in the Earth's magnetic pole position, which appears to be constantly ...

NASA via Rawpixel For decades, Earth’s magnetic north pole has been slowly ... Geophysicists have long speculated that the weakening of the magnetic field could signal a potential geomagnetic reversal ...

In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the ...

No one knows why, but Beggan said it’s probably linked to some pockets of the magnetic field getting stronger and others weakening. He said the overall strength of the Earth’s magnetic field ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...

Earth’s magnetic field has behaved even more dramatically in the past, with the magnetosphere weakening so much that its polarity reversed. This flips the magnetic north and south poles ...
