The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved ...
A trio of physicists, two with Coventry University, in the U.K., and the third with Laboratoire National des Champs ...
Eurasian reed warblers don’t just get a sense of direction from Earth’s magnetic field – they can also calculate their ...
A new video shows how Earth's magnetic field weakened and warped before temporarily flipping during a recent "polar reversal event." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
The Earth's poles flipped 41,000 years ago in an unusual event saw the magnetic field weaken, allowing cosmic rays to batter the atmosphere. And humans have now heard the terrifying sounds of the ...
The Earth has a magnetic field, generated by processes from deep within the planet. Molten metallic material flows in the outer core, and as it cools, convective forces create movement ...
The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...
Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this upheaval as an unnerving clatter interpreted from information collected by the European ...
About 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field briefly flipped in what is known as the Laschamp event. Now, a group of scientists using data from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Swarm ...
Mars' global magnetic field may have hung around for 200 million years longer than scientists had thought, possibly giving ...
