NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

Earth’s magnetic field has been acting restless, with the north magnetic pole racing across the Arctic and the field itself ...

A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth’s history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic ...

A study on past reversals of Earth’s magnetic field has found that a rapid shift occurred within two centuries — such an event in future would increase our exposure to the Sun’s radiation that may ...

Will the pole shift actually happen? Discover more about Earth’s magnetic poles and how they’ve shifted in the past.

In 2024, researchers transformed readings of an epic upheaval of Earth's magnetic field flipping 41,000 years ago into an eerie, auditory experience. Now a team containing some of those same ...

NASA tracks the growing South Atlantic Anomaly, revealing weak magnetic fields, potential satellite risks and some insights ...

This summer, the European Space Agency published data that suggested that the Earth's magnetic field could flip -- as in, the magnetic north pole becomes the magnetic south pole -- in "a few thousand ...

The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. What causes this switch in polarity, and is it dangerous for anything on Earth? Let's take a deep dive into the phenomenon of ...

What if part of Earth’s magnetic field were to act in reverse, flipping a fundamental electrical pattern scientists had ...

The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...
