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

What if part of Earth’s magnetic field were to act in reverse, flipping a fundamental electrical pattern scientists had assumed for decades? That question now has a concrete answer, thanks to new ...

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

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 ...

Evidence suggests that the planet may be in the opening strains of a geomagnetic chicken dance, the likes of which we haven't seen for almost a million years. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

The planet's magnetic North Pole, where compasses point, has been unexpectedly moving toward Russia. While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was ...

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 and slowly ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Earth’s north magnetic pole is drifting from North America at such a clip that it could end up in Siberia in the next 50 years, scientists said Thursday. Despite accelerated movement ...
