Eventually, the blob of molten material beneath Canada split in two and the stronger one slowly shifted toward the blob ...

The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...

The Earth's magnetic field is a dynamic force that plays a crucial role in various aspects of our lives, including navigation systems and the planet's overall geomagnetic stability. Recent ...

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, California -- Environmental scientists said there's a good chance the Earth's magnetic field is in the process of flipping, which could mean compasses that point to the north ...

Changes in the Earth's global magnetic field over six months in 2014 as measured by the European Space Agency's three-satellite Swarm constellation. The left map shows the average magnetic field and ...

Earth’s magnetic field seems steady and true — reliable enough to navigate by. Yet, largely hidden from daily life, the field drifts, waxes and wanes. The magnetic North Pole is currently careening ...

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 ...

Material deep inside Earth — thousands of kilometres down, near the planet’s core — has undergone a mysterious shift. Is ...

A magnetic anomaly twice Florida’s size is drifting toward America—disrupting satellites, weakening Earth’s shield, and ...

A study on past reversals of Earth’s magnetic field has found that a rapid shift occurred within two centuries — such an event in future would increase our exposure to the Sun’s radiation that may ...
