The Sun is preparing for a major event: the reversal of its magnetic field. This phenomenon marks a turning point in the ...

Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like chirping birds in an unexpected place. These bursts of plasma, called ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while ...

The study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that the dichotomy might be due to internal heat ...

Scientists in Britain have been keeping an eye on where the Earth's magnetic north pole is. It's not fixed like the geographical North Pole; instead, it's like a wandering star. Recently, they found ...

NASA is observing an anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the ...

When these waves are converted into audio signals, scientists have found them to sound similar to birds chirping. Scientists ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.
