Earth, sea turtles and magnetic field

Earth’s magnetic field triggers a superpower in sea turtles that makes them ‘dance’
This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and more.
Sea turtles use Earth's magnetic field like an invisible map
Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.
NASA satellites catch Earth's magnetic field making music
Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves.
Sea Turtles Dance to Orientate With Earth's Magnetic Field, Study Reveals
Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, scientists said Wednesday.
Dancing turtles show how animals use magnetic field as a map
Some animals that migrate across the globe-such as birds, salmon, lobsters and sea turtles-are known to navigate using the magnetic field lines that stretch from Earth's north to south pole
Sea turtles ‘dance’ in magnetic fields associated with food, new study finds
Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.
Dancing turtles prove animals use Earth’s magnetic field as GPS | WATCH
Scientists discover turtles use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, proving animals can learn and remember magnetic signatures.
Watch Turtles Boogie When Magnetic Fields Say Food Is Near
Loggerhead turtles can recognize the magnetic signatures that they associate with getting a nice meal – and do an adorable little dance when they do! That’s according to new research that suggests that these turtles use Earth’s magnetic field as a map and a compass in two different ways.
