Earth’s magnetic field has been acting restless, with the north magnetic pole racing across the Arctic and the field itself ...

The Steens Mountain Rapid Reversal - A Shocking 15.5 Million Year Old Event 5 million years ago. This southeastern Oregon location provides one of the most startling examples of how quickly Earth's ...

NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. What causes this switch in polarity, and is it dangerous for anything on Earth? Let's take a deep dive into the phenomenon of ...

A weak spot in Earth’s protective magnetic field is growing larger and exposing orbiting satellites and astronauts to more ...

Simulations and satellite data reveal that Earth's magnetic field is more complex than scientists had thought. Scientists ...

About 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field briefly flipped in what is known as the Laschamp event. Now, a group of scientists using data from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Swarm mission have ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, but new data shows otherwise.

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, researchers ...

When the sun reaches its period of peak activity, known as solar maximum, our star's magentic field will suddenly reverse. But why does it happen, and will it impact Earth? When you purchase through ...
