Northern lights may be visible in 14 US states tonight, June 25, as a G2 geomagnetic storm pushes the aurora south. NOAA says ...

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

On Thursday night, June 19, most of Michigan is within the line of sight, so if the weather permits, it might be worth looking up at the night sky, preferably in an area with less light pollution.

But there's even more exciting news for fans of the northern lights (or, if you're in the southern hemisphere, the southern lights). In a new study, scientists suggest that the sun is entering a ...

A Magnetic Field in Crisis During the Laschamps excursion, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, while the magnetic poles shifted dramatically away from the geographic ...

SpaceX made history on April 1 with its private Fram2 mission. For the first time ever, a crew orbited the Earth’s poles. Until that point, no humans had ever flown above the poles in a ...
