Firefly Aerospace's moon-bound spacecraft has provided the closest thing to a reflecting pool in space, showing Earth as an imposing monument, stacked on top ... view of Earth's magnetic field.

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current within the wire. This is the basic principle that allows electric motors and generators to operate. In the Earth (see ...

This week, the release of the World Magnetic Model 2025 (WMM2025) sheds new light on the enigmatic shifts in Earth’s magnetic field ... the equator—a pixelated view of our planet’s invisible ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

DURING the last ascent of the balloon F.NM.S. (August 18, 1934), we had the opportunity of measuring with precision the intensity of cosmic rays at altitudes of about 12,000 m., 15,000 m.

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

The time period, which spans 770,000 to 126,000 years ago, started with a reversal of the planet’s magnetic field ... View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. The International Union of ...

Creatures from migratory eels and other fish species to insects to birds tap into the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, sometimes many thousands of miles. But so far, evidence has been scant for any ...

Earth's core contains liquid iron which moves around. Iron is magnetic so the liquid iron causes Earth to have a magnetic field ... the better the view is of the Aurorae. People travel to Norway ...
