Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a ...

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) – The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center is tracking a ...

Each end of the magnet lies relatively close (about 10 degrees) to the geographic North and South poles. Earth's invisible magnetic field lines travel in a closed, continuous loop and are nearly ...

In particular, these were more pronounced in the north and south polar regions. "We often assume a nearly symmetrical magnetic field between the northern and southern polar regions, but they are ...

But it’s bad, because our planet’s magnetic field helps shield us from ... your compass needle will tell you that North is in Antarctica and South is somewhere near Canada.

It may even indicate the beginning of a field reversal—a "flip" between the north and south magnetic poles. I'm a physicist who studies the interaction between the planets and space. While the ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

The aurora's are back! And may be visible throughout the weekend. The University of Alaska and NOAA track auroras using the ...

The magnetic field is moving and flowing differently ... Some speculate that this could presage a flip of the north and south magnetic poles, but scientists say there’s no evidence that any ...

During solar minimum, the sun's magnetic field is close to a dipole, with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth's magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, "the sun's ...

The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is about 1,200 miles south and is where geomagnetic field lines are vertical. Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy ...
