A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ...

Researchers have spotted interesting changes in the South Atlantic Anomaly, which is a region of Earth’s magnetic field that has a large dent. The area of weak magnetism appears to be splitting ...

Beneath the bogs of New Zealand’s Northland is a massive Ngāwhā kauri, living from 41,000 to 42,500 years ago, which gives an isolated, unbroken record of a period when Earth’s magnetic field declined ...

The moons that orbit Uranus are already known to have unusual characteristics: some are heavily cratered, others have ...

Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...

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

The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission aims to map auroral electrojets, improving scientific models of space ...

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which marks a fixed location, the magnetic north pole’s position is determined by Earth’s magnetic field, which is in constant motion.

The interior of the sun is threaded with huge ropes and tubes of magnetic fields, loaded with very hot plasma—gas so hot its ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes ...

For the study, the researchers used a combination of spacecraft data obtained from NASA’s Juno spacecraft, ground observations obtained from the Keck Observatory, and computer modeling to analyze how ...

Pictures may enliven us, but other data, such as information about magnetic fields, ... Jupiter’s magnetic field is so vast that its magnetosphere extends out as far as the orbit of Saturn!
