It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At ...

A team of scientists may finally have the answer. The study suggests that the moon’s magnetic rocks could be the result of a ...

Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

The Gannon storm, the first named geomagnetic storm, brought rare auroras and major changes to Earth's magnetosphere in 2024.

Forecasters of space weather keep an eye on the sun to stay ahead of eruptions of solar material that have the ability to shut down power grids on Earth, disrupt aircraft routes, global communications ...

Regular readers of my column certainly know how to use the Big Dipper to find the North Star (aka Polaris). Some folks believe Polaris is important ...

The auroras surrounding the north pole of our solar system's largest planet had some surprises in store when astronomers aimed JWST at them.

Scientists warn that a 'bird wing' solar eruption could strike Earth tomorrow, causing the Northern Lights to be visible over ...

The team found that the North Pole wandered over Europe when the magnetic field's poles started to flip positions, a natural process that has happened around 180 times over Earth's geological history.

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which remains fixed, magnetic north is shaped by the chaotic flow of molten iron within Earth’s outer core. This restless movement of metal generates the planet ...

The drifting of Earth’s magnetic north pole is totally normal and for years this has been transpiring slowly. However, what has been a concern or caught the attention of experts and scientists is the ...

The magnetic north pole is shifting, scientists confirm. Its movement towards Russia has accelerated in recent decades. Researchers say it is now closer to Siberia than five years ago. Tracking ...
