Magnetic field data collected by ESA's Swarm satellites and other sources has been coverted into these frightening sounds.
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 ...
Geological data of the processes shifting magnetic poles within the planet for a large epoch in history was sonified into an auditory experience.
For more than 100 years, scientists have puzzled over whether the Earth’s magnetic field had already been generated stably ...
Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space ...
"The rumbling of Earth’s magnetic field is accompanied by a representation of a geomagnetic storm that resulted from a solar flare on 3 November 2011," explained TUD musician project supporter ...
An illustration of Earth's magnetic field, the Earth, the solar wind, the flow of particles. Research suggests the magnetic field nearly collapsed around 600 million years ago, and that may have ...
These rocks offer evidence that Earth had a strong magnetic field 3.7 billion years ago, but scientists aren't sure where that field could've come from.
Ancient bricks inscribed with the names of Mesopotamian kings have yielded important insights into a mysterious anomaly in Earth's magnetic field 3,000 years ago, according to a new study.
Earth's magnetic field may have been similarly as strong 3.7 billion years ago as it is today, pushing the earliest date for this planetary protective bubble back 200 million years.
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 magnetic field is not something that is static. The Earth’s magnetosphere is being altered by the solar wind coming from the Sun. During periods of high activity, like now, it is squished ...
