NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies ...

NASA scientists are concerned about a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field, which can make life at the International ...

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

The compass needle points in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, or the magnetic field of a magnet. place the plotting compass near the magnet on a piece of paper mark the direction the ...

While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was before, raising questions about the planet's magnetic field. If the Earth's field is disrupted ...

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

From there, the other directions can be figured out. Without the Earth’s magnetic field, this useful phenomenon would not occur. Whilst the geographical and magnetic north poles aren’t always ...
