Earth’s magnetic north pole has been shifting gradually for centuries due to the movement of molten metals in the planet’s outer core. In the 1990s, magnetic north began to experience an ...

At planetary scale, Earth’s magnetic field induces such a current ... paleomagnetic records show that the intensity drops by up to 90 percent in the process of pole-switching. We should all feel ...

The World Magnetic Model predicts shifts in Earth's magnetic field using data from satellites like ESA’s Swarm mission. Milk genes Neanderthals? New study reveals a surprising ancestral twist ...

Riding with SpaceX’s Transporter-13 mission, NASA’s EZIE CubeSats will unlock the mysteries of auroral electrojets. These ...

Have you ever played with a magnet and stuck it in a sandy wash? It will pick up lots of black stuff. Some call it black sand; some might think ...

Historical data shows that auroras occur more often during the spring and autumn equinox.

Like bar magnets, Earth has a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole. The lines of Earth’s magnetic field point from one pole to the other. When the solar wind approaches Earth ...
