A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

The Sun is preparing for a major event: the reversal of its magnetic field. This phenomenon marks a turning point in the solar cycle, signaling the transition from solar maximum to solar minimum. This ...

The Sun is preparing for a major event: the reversal of its magnetic field. This phenomenon marks a turning point in the solar cycle, signaling the transition from solar maximum to solar minimum.

Blue Ghost has left Earth’s orbit, carrying NASA’s science to the Moon. Instruments are performing well, including a ...

“The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before,” William Brown, a global geomagnetic field modeler ... abruptly stop and reverse to Canada, he said.

the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion. Over the past few decades, magnetic north’s movement has been unprecedented — it ...

Earth's magnetic poles are shifting unpredictably, with rapid drifts and weakening fields raising questions about a possible future reversal and its global effects.

as a weakened magnetic field would offer less protection against space weather. While life on Earth has weathered multiple magnetic reversals over more than 100 million years, “we’ve never ...

"In a fraction of a day all vestiges of civilization are gone, and the great cities — Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, New York — are nothing but legends. Barely a stone is left where ...

In addition, a group of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered that the intensity of the lunar magnetic field rebounded 2.8 billion years ago. This is the first paleomagnetic ...
