Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few decades, magnetic north’s movement has been unprecedented — it ...

“The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before,” William Brown, a global geomagnetic field modeler at the British Geological Survey, said in a statemen ...

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...
