Earth, Sun and field reversal

WATCH: The Sun's magnetic field is about to flip - here's how it could affect Earth
Could the expected solar flares bring a greater chance of seeing the northern lights? Sophia Herod takes a look.
The sun's magnetic field will flip soon. Here's what to expect.
As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the incoming magnetic orientation, French said. This is called Hale's law.
An ancient tree revealed the tale of Earth's magnetic field reversal
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 story of temporary environmental chaos,
This 42,000-Year-Old Tree May Have Just Revealed When Earth’s Next Magnetic Flip Will Happen!
Every few hundred thousand years, Earth’s magnetic poles flip, turning north into south and south into north. These geomagnetic reversals can take thousands of years, but shorter disruptions—called geomagnetic excursions—can occur more frequently and wreak havoc on the planet.
Earth's Flipping Magnetic Field Heard as Sound Is an Unnerving Horror
Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite mission.
