What Happened and When. The World Magnetic Model 2025, released by the NOAA and the British Geological Survey, has provided the latest update on the predicted position of the Earth's magnetic fields.

The pole's recent speed up is just one of a number of anomalies that have unexpectedly thrown the world's magnetic field map slightly out of whack and prompted an earlier-than-scheduled update ...

A recent study showed that during the Laschamps excursion, a recent period of low magnetic field intensity which occurred only 41,000 years ago, the global cosmic ray flux reaching the Earth's ...

The World Magnetic Model (WMM) — the name of the updated representation of the magnetic field of Earth — is expected to be released no earlier than Jan. 30. That's about two weeks later than ...

In the mid 1900s, the north magnetic pole was lumbering along at less than a hundred feet each day, adding up to less than seven miles of difference each year. But in the '90s, this started to change.

For the first time in history, we re seeing the Sun from an angle no one ever has: from above and below its poles. Thanks to ...

The magnetic north pole is different from the geographic North Pole. The geographic North Pole (or “true north”) is where Earth’s axis meets its surface and is a fixed point on the globe.

The north magnetic pole’s observed locations from 1831–2007 are yellow squares. Modeled pole locations from 1590–2025 are circles progressing from blue to yellow. Credit: National Centers ...

Global shifts. The shifting of the North Pole has a big impact on the World Magnetic Model, which "predicts where the pole should be at any one time," said The Times.This model "helps to direct ...
