The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine ...
A trio of physicists, two with Coventry University, in the U.K., and the third with Laboratoire National des Champs ...
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 ...
Weak electric field discovered in Earth's atmosphere. Electric field crucial to understanding polar wind flow. Field could explain why Earth is habitable.
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 sunspot, named 3856, is facing Earth and has developed a volatile type of magnetic field known as a "beta-gamma-delta" field, meaning that it has a greater chance of releasing powerful solar ...
