Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...
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, ...
“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...
Every breath we take in contains 21% oxygen, the gas that makes life on Earth possible. Oxygen, in its combined oxide state, ...
In 2013, the ESA launched three Swarm satellites for a mission to help decode how Earth’s magnetic field is generated by precisely measuring the radiofrequency signals coming from the planet’s ...
Field-aligned currents (FACs), which are electric currents flowing across the Earth’s magnetic field, could explain some of these asymmetries. For the peak at 70 degrees magnetic latitude, ...
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.
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.
The robotic Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the first images ever taken of our sun's two poles as scientists seek a deeper understanding of Earth's host star, including its magnetic field, its ...
Every year, billions of birds migrate in and out of the United States. And across the world, birds fly thousands of miles to reach their seasonal destinations. Some birds, like the Arctic tern ( ...
Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released study.
