Earth's magnetic field became weaker during this period ... with gases in the planet's magnetic field. Unable to view our graphics? Click here to see them. The European Space Agency launched ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a ...

The aurora's are back! And may be visible throughout the weekend. The University of Alaska and NOAA track auroras using the ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby have converted the radiofrequency signals from Earth’s magnetic field into sounds. The signals were measured by the European Space ...

The Earth's magnetic field surrounds our planet like an invisible force field—protecting life from harmful solar radiation by deflecting charged particles away. Far from being constant ...

Earth's north magnetic pole is so out of whack that scientists need to update the global magnetic-field model they released only four years ago. Could that be a sign that the magnetic pole will ...

Here’s how it works. Extending from Earth like invisible spaghetti is the planet's magnetic field. Created by the churn of Earth's core, this field is important for everyday life: It shields the ...

Underneath our feet, deep down in the Earth, liquid iron is producing the magnetic field that we all take for granted. But every now and then that magnetic field reverses or flips its polarity.

Here’s how it works. Over the 400 years or so that humans have been measuring Earth's magnetic field, it has drifted inexorably to the west. Now, a new hypothesis suggests that weird waves in ...

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs. Scientists detected a strange ripple through Earth’s magnetic field without any ...

New research reveals how dramatically Earth’s magnetic field weakened and shifted during an event called the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, potentially influencing human evolution at a pivotal ...

Check your compass again — Earth’s north magnetic pole is moving toward Siberia. Since at least the early 19th century, Earth’s north magnetic pole has been situated in the Canadian Arctic ...
