"Our team has been setting the pace in advancing magnetic anomaly-based navigation, from establishing statistical rigor around performance and map quality to shaping requirements for magnetic maps ...

A flip would disrupt radio communication and scramble navigation systems. Orbiting satellites would be at risk, as a weakened magnetic field would offer less protection against space weather.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SandboxAQ today announced a series of scientific and technical milestone publications on magnetic anomaly-based navigation (MagNav), collectively ...

The Earth's magnetic North Pole is shifting its position. Research indicates it is moving from Canada towards Siberia. As ...

A fairly well-known phenomenon called South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) refers to the unusually weak magnetic field over South America and the southern Atlantic Ocean. And scientists acknowledge that ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole is on the move—and in surprising ways. With the release of the World Magnetic Model 2025, ...

For years, NASA has been studying a growing anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field that scientists liken to a “dent” or “pothole in space.” It is a giant region of lower magnetic intensity ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field ... resulting in the dramatic weakening effect – which is aided by the tilt of the planet's magnetic axis.

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

When these orbiters pass through the anomaly, it can cause satellites and spacecraft to experience short-circuits and malfunctions. That's because the reduced strength of Earth's magnetic field ...

Executive Editor David Carnoy has been a leading member of CNET's Reviews team since 2000. He covers the gamut of gadgets and is a notable reviewer of mobile accessories and portable audio ...

NASA is worried about the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). This anomaly affects Earth's magnetic field, which may pose risks to satellites and the International Space Station. The SAA is caused by ...
