A compass would still technically work in space, but it wouldn't necessarily point you back to Earth. Instead, it would point to the north pole of whatever magnetic field is the strongest ...

Explorers have long trusted compasses to navigate Earth's land and oceans, using our planet's global magnetic field as their guide. But what happens when you take a compass beyond Earth - into ...
