Russell-McPherron Effect: Why "Cracks" In Earth's Magnetic Field Mean We Get Peak Auroras At Equinox
Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...
High-speed winds from a spot on the sun’s surface may affect Earth’s magnetic field, pulling the phenomenon further south.

The sun's magnetic field will flip soon. Here's what to expect.During solar minimum, the sun's magnetic field is close to a dipole, with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth's magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, "the sun's ...
Thus, if we can date the rocks, we can tell north from south in that era. Reversals don’t happen instantly, but over a period of thousands of years as the magnetic field gradually weakens. Though its ...
A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...
Some animals that migrate across the globe, such as birds, salmon, lobsters and sea turtles, are known to navigate using the ...
