For over half a century, scientists suspected a quiet but powerful electric field might be influencing Earth’s upper ...

Experts warn that "something" in the core of the Earth is causing the magnetic pole to shift. North Pole is shifting toward Siberia and raising concern ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it. Enough states have ratified the ERA. Does that mean it's part of ...

The Fram2 mission will fly astronauts over the North and South poles – a unique trajectory that Houston researchers will use ...

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 ...

where they are funneled over our planet's polar regions to Earth's magnetic field. When those particles interact with the upper atmosphere, they cause a glow (usually in green) visibel to skywatchers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Neptune's glowing auroras are captured in the best detail yet by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Hints of auroras were first faintly detected in ultraviolet light during a flyby ...

The moving metals in Earth's core create the planet's magnetic field. Our planet sits in a small ... planet's three major climactic zones: the polar regions in the Arctic and Antarctic, the ...

Satellites come in all shapes and sizes, but there aren't any that look quite like SPHEREx, an infrared observatory NASA ...

On Earth, auroras tend to occur near ... near the mid-latitudes of the planet, not the polar regions, because of differences in its magnetic field, which determine the span of auroras, said ...
