Seeing an aurora is often considered a bucket list experience. Learn how a cartographer used maps to improve his chances.

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

Our rating: False. Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that a compass wouldn't work if Earth is spherical. Compasses orient themselves to the Earth's magnetic field lines.

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 map and track Earth's magnetic field using something called the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which was jointly developed by the British Geological Survey and the National Centers for ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it.

Few are aware of Earth’s magnetic field on a daily basis—it’s impossible to see or feel without the right tools. But it’s there every day, and scientists think it’s changing all the time.

The Inouye Solar Telescope's First Maps of the Corona's Magnetic Field Since the 1950s, solar physicists have mapped the magnetic fields on the Sun's surface, providing valuable insights.

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

Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map.

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.

Modest changes in magnetic fields around fault zones preceded major earthquakes in California, study finds. Changes in magnetic fields fault lines may give faint signal prior to California ...
