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.
Watch turtles ‘dance’ when a magnetic field signals a meal
Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be using it in a different way.
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.
