More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

Ancient Homo sapiens may have benefited from sunscreen, tailored clothes and the use of caves during the shifting of the magnetic North Pole over Europe about 41,000 years ago, new University of ...

Recent shifts in Earth's magnetic field have human fingerprints all over them. While it is normal for our planet's magnetic poles to sporadically wander, new research shows we've now amassed enough ...

Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from space weather like cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun. The southern Atlantic anomaly shrinks that protective bubble, but not so much ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Earth's north magnetic pole is drifting from North America at such a clip that it could end up in Siberia in the next 50 years, scientists said Thursday. Despite accelerated movement ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

This expanding anomaly exposes satellites passing over the region to heightened cosmic radiation and charged solar particles, ...

For the first time in history, we re seeing the Sun from an angle no one ever has: from above and below its poles. Thanks to the European Space Agency s Solar Orbiter and its tilted orbit, scientists ...

The magnetic north pole just isn’t where it used to be. Ever since the British polar explorer James Clark Ross first identified it on the Boothia Peninsula in Canada’s Nunavut territory in 1831, ...

The first-ever images of the sun’s south pole reveal a messy jumble of magnetic activity in a never-before-seen region of our nearest star. The images, taken by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft and ...
