When exploring outer space, the sharpness of our vision has always been limited by Earth’s atmosphere and the physical size of our telescopes. But astronomers shattered these limitations in 2024 by ...

Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...

Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could pose problems for long-distance space travel ...

There are trillions of charged particles—protons and electrons, the basic building blocks of matter—whizzing around above ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

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.

Earth’s inner core is shifting, slowing, and reshaping. Scientists study its impact on magnetic fields, pole movement, and ...

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which marks a fixed location, the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few ...

This magnetic field that extends from Earth's interior into space is thought ... Magnetic signals from oceanic tides: new satellite observations and applications, Philosophical Transactions ...

The models take in observations from satellites that continuously measure Earth’s magnetic field, as well as from ground observatories worldwide. Using the models, Beggan said, scientists can ...

This transformation is believed to be occurring at the boundary where the solid inner core meets the scorching hot liquid ...
