Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

A joint venture between NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Leeds discovered that the Earth's magnetic field strength and atmospheric oxygen levels over the past 540 million ...

41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, causing auroras to appear globally—even over places like North Africa and Australia.

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes ...

We should all feel grateful that we live in a time of magnetic stability, because the field acts as a protective bubble, interacting with harmful particles just beyond the outermost layer of Earth’s ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

Scientists have discovered that the 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is growing, allowing harmful radiation to come closer to our planet's surface. The region, known as the South Atlantic ...

Earth's magnetic field became weaker during this period, falling to at least 5% of its present strength. This made it possible for more cosmic rays to enter the Earth’s atmosphere, according to ...
