The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...

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

Roughly 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field did something spectacular—it weakened dramatically, nearly collapsing before rebounding. This event, known as the Laschamp Excursion, lasted ...

Earth's magnetic field, or magnetosphere, first formed up to 3.7 billion years ago and is generated by the swirling metallic ocean within our planet's outer core.The bubble of magnetism shields ...

A preserved tree fossil gives an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire, triggering environmental chaos, influencing everything from an ...

Further, physicists like Cohen say that the Earth’s magnetic field isn’t going to flip overnight. This is something that reverses on a time scale between 100,000 and 1,000,000 years.

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 ...

When you think of the North Pole’s location, you probably imagine it is the centermost point at the top of our planet. However, the North Magnetic Pole has actually been moving gradually since ...

ANU geophysicist Professor Hrvoje Tkalčić says that the dynamics of Earth's magnetic field is an area of strong interest in the scientific community. A doughnut-shaped region thousands of ...
