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

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

Peculiar bursts of energy called chorus waves have been detected in deep space far from our planet, suggesting they could pose problems for long-distance space travel ...

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.

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

a fixed point where the Earth’s axis meets its surface. Instead, magnetic north is the changing location where the planet’s magnetic field lines converge. This field is generated by the ...

A stunning composite image, made up of three years' worth of satellite photos, shows the ancient lava of Libya's Haruj volcanic field interspersed with patches of golden sand.

the angle at which magnetic field lines intersect the Earth. The turtles use these two pieces of information, which vary at every point on the planet's surface, as navigational markers that help ...

The risk of impact is likely to drop to zero as observations of Asteroid 2024 YR4 continue.

The magnetic north pole is distinct from the geographic North Pole, a fixed point where the Earth’s axis meets its surface. Instead, magnetic north is the changing location where the planet’s magnetic ...

Farther out in the tail, the lines of Earth's magnetic field have been stretched and warped into something much messier. Physicists didn't think chorus waves could form amid the stretched-out mess ...
