A recent study led by NASA has revealed a surprising connection between Earth’s magnetic field and the oxygen levels that ...

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

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

Prior to about 3.56 billion years ago, the dynamo effect from these factors combined created a magnetic field, albeit one much weaker than Earth’s present magnetic field (which measures about 50 ...

In a nutshell 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, causing auroras to appear globally—even over places like North Africa and Australia.

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field dropped to just 10% of its current level, while the magnetic poles wandered far from their usual locations. For about 300 years, the magnetic fi.

Since the magnetic field is sustained by geological activity deep within our planet, let’s start with an overview of its structure. Although we’ve hardly scratched Earth’s surface (the center lies ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

NASA has been monitoring an anomaly in Earth's magnetic field, growing 40,000 miles above the planet's surface between South America and southwest Africa.

Earth's magnetic field became weaker during this period, falling to at least 5% of its present strength. This made it possible for more cosmic rays to enter the Earth’s atmosphere, according to ...
